Unique? Orange antichrist!
I don't it's blasphemy that JC was just another country preacher until Paul turned him into status. JC preached "render unto Caesar" and "turn the other cheek" and would not understand "onward Christian soldiers." youtube.com/watch?v=p8-…
Thank you for bringing music back into my life. I forgot how calming it is. It also brings back memories. The Simon and Garfunkel 25th Anniversary (that follows) is especially evokes memories & emotion and is pertinent to the times. We cannot continue to be “silent”.
