into my music app. These are albums lost in a wildfire that took our home and possessions in 1994.

CSNY/Deja Vu; Elton John/Madman Across the Water; numerous Van Morrison albums, etc.

I am STRUCK by the many references to Jesus, from the Bible, to religion (Christianity). I never noticed it at the time. I don't find them preachy. They are quite profane (secular).

I find this musical thread fascinating, and so interesting to read your comment about Springsteen as well. Touching. Even to me as a humanist pagan.
