on your knees for the Church of Tom Jones

Posted on by

No, seriously. There’s a Church of Tom Jones. In California, of course. What’s slightly worrying is that it’s in the state’s capital city, a place we’d thought had more than its RDA of showbiz nuttiness already, what with the Gouvernator and all.

Thanks to FE for the video, and to the BBC, via Fark, for the story.

A US preacher who has set up a church dedicated to the Welsh sex symbol and crooner Tom Jones has denied using religion in vain.

Pastor Jack Stahl said Jones‘s “soulful, spiritual and supernatural” voice helps him contact God.

Would this have anything to do with all those women yelling “Oh God, oh God,” at certain moments? Just close your eyes and think of Tom Jones…

“It’s weird, but a positive thing,” he said. “I inspired Pastor Jack. He saw the light through me, so it works.”

song o’ the month: Zombie, by the Cranberries

If you don’t know why this is the song of the month, I suggest you just play it in a continuous loop until you get it. Shouldn’t take long…maybe one more airstrike.

It’s funny, in a Beckettian way; before the War on Lebanon broke out, I happened to notice that every time I ticked the tag for “Politics” and the tag for “Religion” I would tick the tag for “War” as well.

Funny, that.

Zombie
by the Cranberries

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it’s not me, it’s not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying…

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou…

Another mother’s breakin’,
Heart is taking over.
When the vi’lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It’s the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they’re still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying…

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What’s in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a…
