I truly enjoy RFM. I would love to see him go through this article by Spencer Kimball: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/liahona/1978/02/the-gospel-vision-of-the-arts?lang=eng
Thanks for the interview!
Happy birthday 🥳 John, hope you enjoyed a wonderful day, best wishes beth and family x🌈🦋☘️🎂🎈🎁
It must have been The Muppets’ Christmas Carol, John! I feel it every time I watch it.
RFM is brilliant!
“Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, who are you what have you sacrificed? Jesus Christ, superstar, do you think you’re what they say you are?” I was 19 years old when Jesus Christ Superstar was being performed on Broadway. I memorized every word of every song from that production and learned more about the gospels and the ministry of Christ from that rock opera than I ever did from a lifetime of Mormon Sunday schools. On the other hand, I knew a boatload of stuff about Joseph Smith and his endlessly “persecuted” ministry. It was a pack of lies but I believed it all at that point of my life.
Where’s Part 2? Would be really interested in listening to it.
