A Letter to the Vatican


Dear Pope,

I am so pleased to hear that you thought to include a list of Top 10 most awesome albums in your Vatican newsletter!

Who would have thought you would have such exquisite taste in music? 

I particularly enjoy that The Beatles ‘Revolver’ is your number one album on the iPod.  An album made by 4 very talented musicians CLEARLY off their head at the early years of Psychedelia, Free Love and LSD.  Interesting fact Pope, did you know that Lennon once claimed his band was “Bigger Than Jesus” which led to much Vinyl burning by church faithfuls? 

Also, Oasis’ classic album ‘What’s The Story Morning Glory?’ With songs about cocaine (Champagne Supernova) and their mop tops, I think these boys were just trying to live up to The Fab Fours reputation.  What do you think Pope?

It is interesting that with the Vatican’s views on divorce that you included one of my all time favourite albums, Rumours by ‘Fleetwood Mac’ on your list.  You do realise the whole album is written whilst the married members of the band were splitting and having affairs?

Perhaps I’ll decline to comment on your inclusion of ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’, despite Pink Floyd’s lead guitarist being a well known Atheist.

Well Pope, I am surprised in your musical tastes and your lack of judgement!  In fact your playlist seems to bear a striking resemblance to my own.  Well done!

Best Wishes,

Miss Ginger
