Thanks, Diane. Though 3 Dog Night sang it a lot (and I listened to them a lot) back in the day, I encountered the song in its original context as part of the tribal rock musical Hair. This is music from my seminary days when I was young and idealistic and emotional. It gets to me very deeply. I am no longer young and much more jaded now but still idealistic and emotional. But you knew that.
I know it won't happen but I'd love for the American bishops to say, "Nope. The price for admission in this club is too high. Abide in peace, we're outta here."
The views expressed on this blog are solely those of the blogger and do not represent the positions of any group or organization with which he may be affiliated. As one who spent decades stuffing down his opinions and emotions, I am inclined to cut loose here, which I believe is healthy, honest, and part of the process of sanctification in the long run. Politics and spirituality mingle freely here, along with theatre reviews, photography, and passionate talk about food, literature, and the human journey. If anything written here offends you, please find other blogs to read. I am here to share, not to do battle.
