Resurrection
The previous entry, on Christian theology, does not imply that all religion is bad. Consider, for instance, the following from a memorial web page:
“Al Grierson’s song Resurrection was sung by Ray Wylie Hubbard, on his outstanding Dangerous Spirits album. The song is awesome, and fits right into Ray Wylie’s spirit ‘and an angel lay on a mattress and spoke of history and death with perfume on her lingerie and whiskey on her breath . . . he’s loading up his saddlebags on the edge of wonder, one is filled with music and the other’s filled with thunder.’ Wow.”
Amen.
Grierson died on November 2, 2000
— All Souls Day, Dia de los Muertos.
My own favorite resurrection story is “Damnation Morning,” by Fritz Leiber; see Why Me?
For more on the Day of the Dead, see Under the Volcano.
These are, of course, just stories, but may reflect some as yet unknown truth.
By the way, thanks, Joni, for leading me to KHYI.com on the day of the Toronto Stones concert.
My favorite resurrection story is my own.
I’m rather narcissistic that way.
