Song Uno: From here to Eternity

"Jesus Is Just Alright"- The Doobie Brothers, Toulouse Street
Alright, I have to tell a funny (to me) story. I was in college when this song came out. A guy in my dorm with a big stereo loved this song, and played it to death. Over and over, with his room door open and the sound blasting. Next door to him lived a friend of mine who was a Religion major, studying for his first big Comparative Religion final, a course that I was auditing pass/fail for a core requirement. He was going crazy, trying to study with this song blasting through the dorm.

Fast forward to the final. He is in the front row, sweating bullets. I am just behind him, very relaxed (science majors don't sweat multiple choice tests much). I lean forward and start singing the refrain - "Jesus is just alright with me, Oh Yea"in a soft voice. I thought he was going to kill me.

Maybe you had to be there.
