Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

Have you stateside readers settled accounts with the Infernal Revenue Service?  If yes, order up one scotch, one bourbon, and one beer<\/a> and enjoy this live version of Taxman<\/a>  featuring Harrison and Clapton.  Stevie Ray Vaughan's blistering version<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

. . . and render unto God the things that are God's.<\/span><\/p>\n

Herewith, five definite decouplings of rock and roll from sex and drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n

Norman Greenbaum, Spirit in the Sky<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Johnny Cash, Personal Jesus.<\/a> This is one powerful song.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clapton and Winwood, Presence of the Lord.<\/a> Why is Clapton such a great guitarist? Not because of his technical virtuosity, his 'chops,' but because he has something to say.<\/span><\/p>\n

George Harrison, My Sweet Lord<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

George Harrison, All Things Must Pass.<\/a> Harrison was the Beatle with depth.  Lennon was the radical, McCartney the romantic, and Ringo the regular guy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good YouTuber comment: "Immortal song, even if all things must pass . . . " <\/span><\/p>\n

Easter Sunday happens to coincide with April Fool's Day this year. <\/span><\/p>\n

So for your further auditory amusement here are some tunes in celebration or bemoanment of human folly the chief instance of which is romantic love.  Who has never been played for a fool by a charming member of the opposite sex?  Old age is the sovereign cure for romantic folly and I sincerely recommend it to the young and foolish.  Take care to get there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Elvis Presley, A Fool Such as I<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Ricky Nelson, Poor Little Fool<\/a>.  Those "carefree devil eyes" will do it every time.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Brenda Lee, Fool #1<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The Shirelles, Foolish Little Girl<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Ricky Nelson, Fools Rush In<\/a>.  "Fools rush in\/Where wise men never go\/But wise men never fall in love\/So how are they to know?" <\/span><\/p>\n

Sam Cooke, Fool's Paradise<\/a>. Sage advice.  <\/span><\/p>\n

Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Fool<\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
