Saturday:9 Jesus Christ Superstar

On this Saturday, while we wait for the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, let's answer some questions from Samantha and the Saturday:9.

I Don't Know How to Love Him

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: I Don't Know How to Love Him (1971)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is from Jesus Christ, Superstar. Though now a beloved classic, the play was controversial when it first premiered. Can you think of something else that originally made people uncomfortable, but went on to be accepted?  Oh my goodness...just watch TV these days!  And the commercials!  

2) Jesus Christ, Superstar was originally developed as a "concept album," a collection of songs written to sequentially tell the story of The Crucifixion and Resurrection. Do you remember the first album you bought?  I think the first vinyl album I bought was Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.  Did you download it, listen to it on a CD player, your cassette deck, or record player?  Download it?!!  LOL  No, I listened to it on a record player.

3) When the album's songs were performed live in concert at the Pennsylvania Civic Arena, producers decided to stage it as a play and the rest, as they say, is history. Tell us about a really good idea you've had recently.  Joe liked my idea to have breakfast for dinner on Thursday night. It did taste good!

4) Jesus Christ, Superstar is a truly international phenomenon. During a revival tour that began in 2011, it's been a hit with audiences in the United States, Canada, Britain, Ireland, Brazil, Hungary, India, New Zealand, Italy, France, Mexico, Chile, Bulgaria, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Russia, Poland, Czech Republic, Greece, Australia, The Philippines, South Africa, Panama, Colombia, Croatia, Bolivia, The Netherlands and Portugal. Besides the United States, which of those countries have you visited?  Canada and Italy.

5) Peeps are big sellers every Easter. Would you rather have yellow chicks or pink bunnies? I don't care for the marshmallow peeps, so none is my answer.

6) Jelly beans are also popular this time of year. One theory says they were introduced in Boston during the 19th century. What else comes to mind when you think of Boston?  Lobster.

7) We've been talking a lot about sweets this morning. The only holiday that generates more candy sales is Halloween. When do you eat more candy: Easter or Halloween?  Probably Easter. We don't buy candy for Halloween anymore, but our friends usually give us an Easter basket when we gather for Easter dinner.

8) Easter lilies will adorn many churches this Sunday. What's your favorite flower?  A simple daisy. Fragrant flowers give me migraines.

9) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What makes you feel refreshed or rejuvenated?  Enough sleep.  I rarely get enough sleep.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

I wish you all a Blessed Easter (if you celebrate).  We will go to the Saturday Easter Vigil tonight. It is usually two hours long (or more) but is such a beautiful service. He is Risen Indeed!!

Thanks for your visit!  Peace & hugs!
