In this episode I explore the brilliant complexities of the 1970 album and later Rock Opera Jesus Christ Superstar.  How the incredible music  and lyrics accurately stayed true to the last days of Jesus as written in the bible, and also  explored the complex relationships in the form of a great tragedy.  All held together by the music of the current generation of the time that  reflected the changing times.  The similarities and the ending directing listeners to read a passage from the bible.  More powerful than a sermon!
