The Friday Morning Listen - Ash Wednesday Edition

Passion - Peter Gabriel

All this hootenany about Gibson's movie got me to thinkin' about Gabriel's music from The Last Temptation Of Christ (which I've never seen...a 'sin' I should probably remedy). It is one fantastic & spicy bowl of instrumental world-music stew. Of course when 'Temptation' came out the uproar was not over alleged anti-semitism but instead the sex between Jesus & Mary. My office-mate at the time jokingly said "Well of course it had to happen. Nobody would turn down sex with Barbara Hershey!"

Oh, the other reason for this post is that me & the wife are going on a little mini-vacation this weekend up to Portland, Maine. They do have internet cafes up there but the luddite in me cringes at the thought.
