Lady Gaga – Judas, by John Markuson

“I wanna love you,
But something’s pulling me away from you
Jesus is my virtue,
Judas is the demon I cling to”

Thought-provoking, eh?

From Glenn Beck to Sarah Palin to Billy Graham to Franklin Graham to other Christian dynasties (think of all those who have somehow anointed themselves) to Lady Gaga to Dancing with the Stars to American Idol to the NFL to Barry Bonds and Dennis Rodman (and Charley Sheen) and on, current American “culture” makes me dizzy.

Those lyrics seem to have some kind of pop theology within, perhaps better than that of the Crystal Cathedral’s ripoff founder/preacher Robert Schuller, perhaps not. But I’d rather listen to her than him.

That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it.
