shareThe state of education today... really scary.
The 60's and the 70's were a time of experimentation. It was thought, wrongly IMO, that drugs were a valid way to challenge the status quo. Since Jesus is a central symbol of rebellion (he certainly challenged the status quo in his day), I am sure the producers of Godspell thought it was logical that Jesus would rebel in this way if he were around. Almost everyone who went through this time has now repudiated the idea that drugs are an answer to anything. Also, it should be pointed out that the majority of people growing up during this time were not hippies or drug users - they just weren't noisy enough to be noticed. I grew up in the 1970s and I didn't know anyone who did any drugs other than the occasional joint. Most of the people I hung out with had the occasional beer on a weekend. It was considered *way* out there to do anything like cocaine or LSD in my crowd.
Well, first of all everyone (by the end of the 60's) was already smoking dope.
Of the people I knew at that time, I am about the only one who never took acid (LSD). Even a very conventional friend of mine who people would have imagined to be a "miss-goodie-two-shoes" had taken at least 6 acid trips. There are some people who took drugs to rebel, others who took them seeking "enlightenment", and a lot who took dope simply because it was fun. One of the major differences - it seems to me- about the 60's and early 70's is that kids were really pretty liberal and ready to experiment,
Drugs did help some people open their minds. And of course drugs destroyed the minds of others. To say that mind-expanding drugs are all wrong is as one-dimensional as saying they're all good.
shareWhere does the film show anybody using drugs? You might be drawn to read it in based on the hairstyles and clothes, but I sure didn't see it in the film.
shareThe was no drug use or suggestion of drug use in the film. I think one of the characters sings "Let's have some wine!" but I don't even remember anyone drinking alcohol.
God save Donald Duck, vaudeville and variety
Yeah, in the song "Light of the World" there's that line: 'We all need help to feel fine, let's have some wine!'
Also, when they're telling about the story of the man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho and the Samaritan, Gilmer mimes drinking the wine she bathes Jerry's wounds in.
And, when they return to the city and they pass around the cups of wine and everybody takes a drink then for part of the Last Supper.
Oh yeah ..... I was a teenager in the 70s and all I did was drugs, dressed up as a clown, and I sang all over town ....... just don't tell my husband, kids, or the students I teach. Also when I graduated from high school (the year Grease came out) we all sang "We Go Together".
But, in reality you (TSed3) need to get a life if you think that is what we did back in the 70s ..... I'm praying to God that you were just being an *beep* with that incoherent statement of yours.
Excuse me, but I was around in the 1960's and I never took drugs. So I'm not "everybody".
In fact, no one I KNEW took drugs in those days. But I do remember my mother telling me not to take anything from anyone (not even food) because they might be laced. I carry that advice to this day.
Tsed3:
Are YOU on drugs...or are you just mentally challenged? Or maybe both?!?
...and your suffering will be legendary even in Hell!!
Yes, yes we did dress up as clowns. Just like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles roam the city these days.
Not for nothing but even druggies knew how to spell and construct sentences in the 70's. I honestly can't tell what you are trying to say.
