Who says a rock opera can't teach you anything? As a Jew, I learned very little about that dude with long hair and a beard (and I'm not talking about Michael McDonald). But here's what I did learn about books Matthew through Revelation from countless and repeated listenings to JCS:
- Judas was kind of a jerk.
- Jesus was not without ego.
- Mary Magdalene was a ... well, she wasn't exactly pure.
- Peter denied his lord three times. THREE TIMES! What a sellout.
- Pontious Pilate was kind of effeminate.
- Jesus had a really great falsetto.
- There were 39 lashes. Thirty-nine!
- Judas was torn. He made some tough decisions, let's face it.
- The apostles were lazy drunks (and a little war hungry).
- Judas' last name was Iscariot. Pretty cool sounding name that you don't hear a lot anymore (not wondering why).
- Jesus was really pissed off. Really at the whole situation. (Not saying I blame him).
- Myhr was really expensive.
- King Herod was quite a singer. And a bit of a dandy.
