So, how do you plan to handle Harlem Square Club? Will it be reviewed when you hit 1963 or do we have to wait until you get to 1985?

For all my rock and roll love, I really dwell on the empathy and intensity of some modern compositions. Be it for deeper lyrics or, the musical impulse (from up there?). So for me, a formally catholic guy who won't go to Church (maybe for a baptism, under threats), it's funny to see how formative Gospel has been to such pieces of music. And even funnier seeing me shed a tear or two when it all comes together in "I was born by the river/In a little tent" (here I'll take "You hear them moanin' their lives away"), or heck even in that Whoopi movie about nuns who discover a bit of rock and roll in their souls. Maybe I'm a bit of a believer :D
