Easter is coming. If you’ve never watched it, I highly recommend the 1973 film version of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’.
Or indeed, the original album from 1970, which has Ian Gillan (then the singer out of Deep Purple) as the voice of Jesus.
You can call it a musical but it is better described as a Rock Opera and it kicks. The music is the best. The words are brilliant. The performances are class.
The film, in particular, just nails it. My favourites are the Pharisees and Pontius Pilate.
I probably identify with Pontius Pilate most when I’m running quizzes. Holding the power of life and death, surrounded by idiots, and sometimes you just can’t make the right decision.
What am I talking about? You wouldn’t know, man. You wouldn’t know unless you were a quizmaster. Unless you’ve held that pen.
