Moment you say " bomb bomb bomb", Jenny, an image of John McCain unfortunately forms in my head.
Churches in the West, in general are too rich -- I've been ragging on the Catholic church in Rome since I was a kid, for example. And in our local parish, it was always a focus on money that we guttersnipe kids would parody, crapping on the monsignor who couldn't step up to that pulpit without a ka-ching. But yes, in the US, the megachurches carried it to the extreme -- because American "culture" has fabricated methodologies for carrying everything involving consumption to an extreme.
Not by the title, gyp, but I just listened to it and yes, it came right back to me. Always the music that's my prime trigger. Good stuff. Thanks.
And I'd wager that the pope might own a good chunk of Blackrock too. No way to know in this secret seedy world of oligarch finance. Only assurance is that it's a club that you and I ain't likely to be members in.
Jenny I too preferred the Stones. But George on his own was epic once the Beatles broke up; they allowed him very little of his own music. It was all Lennon/ McCartney.
Hubs is just…ok. Same with my brother. Thank you for asking my dear friend ❤️❤️❤️

Proof beyond doubt that there IS such a thing as too rich and too thin. Too rich now causes mass starvation.
Hi Vin
Do you recall George Harrison’s song “Awaiting on You All”?
“The Pope owns 51% of General Motors, and the stock exchange is the only thing he’s qualified to quote us”

Vin, it remains one of my all/time favorite songs. Notice that George sings “by chanting the NAMES of the lord you’ll be free”.
Names, not name. I credit George with allowing me to explore other faiths.
I loved him and wept many tears when he died.
I agree. George transcended.
I didn't know this Gypsy............are you sure?
I'm gobsmacked.
Jenny, are you referring to the song? Ask Siri or Alexa or whomever to play it for you.
As you probably know, George was Hari Krishna.
Yes I did know George was HK. Never much liked The Beatles. Was a Rolling Stones girl and of course Big Bob.
I will be sure to listen.
I know hubby is better, how is your brother?

Sorry, forgot to ask, gyp. Glad to hear it. OK better than not.
I liked Lennon best as for Paul I wish he'd piss off with his awful music.
Of course I would ask. Happy to hear this.
Oh. I am sorry to cause such pain to you dear Vin. John McCain and Newt Gingrich are my most hated people...well there are others of course.
IF the Vatican wanted to make life equitable it is in the position to do so.
Disgusting place filled with treasures. I know a few Professors who have been down in the archives researching.
