Beatles music, Christmas story come together at suburban Chicago church

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Community Christian Church’s annual Christmas pageant includes all the classics.
There’s “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Away in a Manger.”
And everyone's favorite sing-a-long: “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”
The church's annual “Let It Be Christmas: The Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Paul, George and Ringo” sets the story of Jesus’ birth, which Christians celebrate at Christmas, to the music of the Beatles.
It mixes Scripture, songs and dance into what Community calls a “magical mystery tour through the gospels to tell the greatest story of all time, with the greatest music of all time!”

1. With the most popular band of all time

Even more popular than Jesus.

2. Not the exact quote.

On another note, how did your protest go?

3. Small town, small crowd.

Even smaller amount of counter protesters.

Cold night, but worthwhile. When's the next one?

7. MoveOn will have information.

We registered ours with MoveOn. Quite a few of the people at our event said that they had never protested before this. They liked the group solidarity.

Congratulations on yours.

4. I am sure John would not approve.

And Mother Mary in Let It Be was Paul's mother, not the "Virgin" Mary.

But all things must pass.

5. Especially since he was murdered by a fanatical Christian

6. Yes,

there is that too.

8. A nice ending.

All things, even Trump, must pass.

9. I like these George lyrics

"Watch out now, take care
Beware of greedy leaders
They take you where you should not go
While Weeping Atlas Cedars
They just want to grow, grow and grow
Beware of darkness"

[guillaumeb]

10. I do as well.

Greed is the essence of Trumpism.

11. I worked retail when I was a kid.

The years of saturation have left Christmas music a source of such profound irritation that the mere recollection of these tunes unbalances and depresses me.

Yay capitalism.

12. One of my daughters worked in a local mall while attending school.

The mall had a soundtrack that played the same 45 minute loop all day. So in a typical 6 hour day, she heard the same songs 8 times.

Yes, capitalism in action. Monetize everything.
