Another one which I recall had the disciples get drunk and sing, "Then we'll retire and write the Gospels so they'll still talk about us when we've died." One of the major themes of "Jesus Christ, Superstar" is the hypocrisy of many Christians, then and now. --- Prentiss Riddle ("Aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada.") --- {ihnp4,harvard,seismo,gatech,ctvax}!ut-sally!riddle
