My knowledge of Cat Stevens' play list is pretty extensive but I can't bring to mind any lyrics about paying off credit card balances.  :hmm:

"Another Saturday night, and I ain't got nobody; I got some money 'cause I just got paid..."

That's Sam Cooke, muttski.  HE DID IT FIRST



Thank you for putting him in his place, cause I woulda.

And R-E-S-P-E-C-T is an Otis Redding song.

I only knew the Cooke version, my Cat Stevens knowledge doesn't extend very far past "Wild World".

So what about Tapestry? Do those songs belong to the original artists, or to the songwriter who was covering them?

In a Catholic parish in Lower Austria, a gay dude has been elected with huge majority into the parish council. Cardinal Schönborn was a bit taken aback, but he sat down with the guy for a chat and concluded that his Catholic conviction is so strong that there's no problem with him serving in that role.

However, the priest in the parish has threatened to step down because of it. Meanwhile, the priest's former housekeeper has stepped up and proclaimed that she and the priest had a torrid afair a few years ago.

Beautiful comedic potential. :lol:

I see nothing wrong with a gay man being elected Parish President.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Hey, at least it tends to show the priest isn't gay.  :D

Well, he'd better - after all, he's now teaching in Korea.

I hate gay drama.  My brother is coming over because his roomate's boyfriend is trying to kill him or something.  I don't know.  I just know I had to wake up and move all the cats (and their cat stuff downstairs).

Actually, I can see the movie.

Small, conservative village with a grumpy priest who tries to rile up the parish against the hip gay guy.

The village dislike the priest, so, after an evening of heavy drinking, they promise the gay dude to elect him into the parish presidency.

The priest tries to put up a henchman of his as candidate, but fails.

The priest appeals to the cardinal to annul the election.

Cardinal meets gay guy and decides he's a good Christian and acknowledged the election.

The priest steams and fumes and threatens to step down.

Priest's ex-lover steps up (maybe with a kid looking suspiciously like the priest?).

The priest is disgraced and leaves.

A new, hip priest arrives in the village and falls in love with the gay guy.

HAPPY END.

For the same reason that "celebrity enters spiral of self-destruction through sex and drugs!" does - even though that is hardly unique.  :D
