...neither an ice cream or a cocktail drink as one might initially think, "floating island" was how the windtalkers from WWII referred to the Philippines, an archipelago strategically located in Southeast Asia...here I intend to think aloud and express my views, not only on people, places & events, but just about anything seen and heard from within and beyond my beloved "floating island", while attempting to find some significant human experiences out of them...

JCS rock opera

the first time i was allowed to watch and listen to rock music was with the 1973 movie production of the broadway play, Jesus Christ Superstar...the film has thus become a part of an annual spiritual retreat of sorts for the family, as we watched it during the Holy Week year after year...

below are 4 of the scenes and songs i love most which, needless to say, featured the 3 standouts in the film...Barry Dennen as Pontius Pilate, Carl Anderson as Judas (sadly he passed away in 2004), and of course, Ted Neeley as JC...i prefer the 1973 film than the remake done in Y2K...
