Desert Fan Clubs?


Ok, Ok, so the comparison between The Big JC and Keith 'pickled in pink' Richards is a little nuts. In ol; Keith's defense ( and JC I guess) I'll say this:

Guys and gals like St. Anthony, St. Augustine, Joan of Arc and the rest of it were the rock stars of their day. People came from all over Christendom to see them perform, miracles that is. When they died they were torn to pieces and botlled off and encased in reliquries in churchs and cathedrals all over Europe and africa and the middle east.
It's not super hard to imagine the celebrities of the day in the place of the saints of teh ancient and medieval world. Back in teh day those guys reflected the extreme embodiment of what was considered virtuous. Likewise with those the people put on teh pedastal. Now we just want drugs, nakedness and people taking our pictures. And in a world that is a choice between the stones and the backstreet boys I'll take the stones, thank you very much.

Or using replicas of certain 50 cent body parts to take home. Relics indeed.







Post Script: I guess that kind of makes the first secret gathering places the persecuted Christians used for worship the first fanclubs?

All of this assuming that these comparisons are even valid.

Rock stars as saints, I see it, but to me it still fails.

Anyhow, I personally see them as playing a kind of folk jazz in those caves.

but why and how because i only want to have the ego that I have
the ego of i want to die
and thus i liver forever
