They Won It AT LAST...!!!

... only, they won it just a few years too late 

for a lot of people to be able to SEE IT... 

And, chief among these people, 

MY DAD. 

Easter Is Here

How better to celebrate it than with a song about JESUS THE CHRIST, OUR LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS, SAVIOUR AND REDEEMER, THE WAY TO ETERNAL LIFE AND SON OF GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF... hmm?

We had many possible choices here, of course - but since this is the blog that it is (note the "... but still..." in the URL) we could not go with legitimate Christian music that sings praise to THE MESSIAH - no, not here!

Elsewhere on the TLB Prime Network - but not on this one!

Rather, we had to select something that is -still- "okay" (and, thus, laudable) but that raises some doubts, somehow, on the true intentions of the authors of this great music here, a classic though it may be... So here we have, from 1973 the main theme from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR...



Andrew Llyod Webber and Carl Anderson may yet burn in hell for this one - or they have nothing to fear at all! It can really go either way; and we're not even mentioning all those showgirls either...!

It is really not up to any one of us to pass judgment on that anyways - JESUS, the Real JESUS (not Ted Neeley) shall do just that. And, actually, there are far greater sins to be judged and condemned than these, ultimately, facetious transgressions...
AND JESUS WILL GET TO THOSE FIRST; you can Believe that!

On that note...
Remember that He Died For you.

Happy Easter, brethren!

A Bruin's Growl

There are so many videos out there to spur on my team to *just do it* - but, perhaps, it is not the proper motivation at all... For these vids have been around for quite some time now: and yet, the team has yet to fulfill its potential and go all the way (at blogging time, they haven't, anyways! Nothing new there: they haven't been so fortunate with Cam Neely leading them in the early 90s - Glen Murray leading them in the early "00s" - or Ray Bourque in the 80s! Not since Bobby Orr in the 70s indeed...)

Motivational compilations, alligning good plays and great hits with just the right music, are nothing new: in fact, even such a thing could not make the team, though a powerhouse as it was, roll all over their most hated rivals on two distinct occasions, some thirty years apart. The compilations rolling out only the positives, editing out any negatives and, therefore, any doubts that there could be on anyone's mind, players or fans alike, have rarely inspired this team or any team to exceed expectations and overachieve...

Such videos are truly laudable efforts though: as they testify of their authors' true faith in their team, their unyielding allegiance to it and their neverending hope to see it reach the pinnacle in its field - asap! They can inspire through sheer epicness - or through humour, in some rare cases...

Such videos can be creative gems too - as they can also be quite amusing, too!

Let's just have a look right now and judge by ourselves, shall we...









The videos are of two other categories as well: made by the fans or made... by the corporation that owns the team! As we can see here:





Just a coincidence, I am sure, that that last guy just happens to bear (pun truly, fully, absolutely intended) an uncanny resemblance to former Bruin and former Oiler Craig MacTavish...
But that is another story...

All laudable indeed - but can they inspire victory, complete victory, one day soon?
