The Devil is a Liar

In the spirit of Easter I would like for all of you to enjoy the inspired, if not abundant, lyrics of our songwriters. I do not post this in any sort of heresy. I plan on going to 11:00 Mass tomorrow and then celebrating the day with my dear friends Shannon and Patty at a soul food (appropriate choice - given the day) restaurant in Eagle Rock.

You mustn't watch the entire video - just the first 2 minutes will suffice or until after the first rockin guitar solo.

I was listening to NPR today and they were asking some sort of expert as to why Easter has come to be filled with colorful eggs and cute pink nosed bunnies. The expert explained in ancient Egypt and other Sumerian-esque cultures the egg would represent fertility and thus spring and thus rebirth. The Egyptians would paint mosaics, and such, upon the eggs to celebrate. Kegger!

The Anglo Saxons has a fertility Goddess named something like Trixie. Ok- not Trixie but a Nordic sounded etheral name - ENYA? So Trixie/Enya would celebrate the coming of Spring and to amuse the children of the Saxon worshipers she would change toads and what nots into bunnies. I meet many toads in LA but I've never been able to change a single one into a bunny. Fuck.

Thus - reeses peanut butter eggs (food of the Gods) and marshmellow peeps represent fertility.

The Savior has risen and Sanjaya remains.

Seriously - God Bless y'all.
