Flashback

This one is for all my peeps from World Religions class. So, we're painting my room the other day, and to keep our spirits up we're listening to the oldies station on the radio. Then this song comes on called "My Sweet Lord." For those of you not present in the aforementioned class, our teacher brought up a recollection of this song from her own youth. She recalled its popularity and how excited all the church people were at the time to hear a popular song on the radio that was supposedly about Jesus. She went on to say that she had heard it again more recently, and realized that the song wasn't about Jesus at all. During the chorus, she heard them repeating "Hare, Hare. Krishna, Krishna." (For those of you not familiar with Hinduism, Hare Krishna is one of the incarnations of the god Vishnu) The song they had rejoiced over wasn't about Jesus at all, but about a Hindu god. So when I recognized the song, you better believe my ears were perked right up to see if it was true. And sure enough, during the final choruses, I heard them singing the very name my prof had mentioned. I smiled quietly to myself, my prof's story verified. Kind of makes you wonder what other things we misconstrue like that...

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVE EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!
