    At BYU, I once wrote a paper for English, that was a concert review. The first line was... "Roll over Earnest L., I'm about to write a concert review of the Doobie Brothers Concert held in the Marriott Center this last Saturday night." The TA wrote on my paper, "Loved it."
    Did the Doobie Brothers perform "Jesus is just alright with me"? When I was a teenager, I attended a multi-stake dance in the midwest (those don't seem to happen much anymore) that featured a decent cover band. Because we were a religious group, at one point they decided to perform "Jesus is just alright with me" and everybody stopped dancing. Very awkward.

      I think we would have a large increase in church participation if this was to be done. Perhaps there is worry that after these many years of this being thought of as a big a commandment as adultery, it would be very difficult to say now, nevermind.

        Yes, they did. The MC was packed, and there was even a doobie haze in the air. - Dead Serious. All of the high school and UTC students came, and it was a rousing good time. I think that was the one and only big time Rock Band to ever play the MC. They weren't allowed after that.

          I went to an Air Supply concert at the MC once. They sing about having sex don't they?

            I imbibed for the first time just a few weeks ago. I've followed the counsel and have only repeated the process 3 times since. (Tell me I will acquire a taste for beer because right now it tastes as bad as it smells)

              The taste of beer sucks. If for some reason you must drink it, drowning it in salt helps.

                What do you want to see revived?

                  I'd like the prophet to act more like an old school prophet with 'Thus saith the Lord' type stuff at conference.

                    Beer is hard to stomach, and creates a big, fat belly. Avoid it. Try something else.

                    Wine, like JS drank before he was killed, or something else.

                    Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.

                      Follow it up with something like tequila or rum to get rid of the rancid taste.

                          what are you drinking? you'll know you've acquired the taste when on a hot day nothing sounds better than an ice cold beer.

                            Wine has as many calories as beer, fyi. Every wine and beer is different, of course, but drinking enough wine will also create a big, fat belly.

                              Bryan Adams = 2.4 on the rock & roll richter.
                              Doobies = 6.9 on rock & roll richter.

                              I also saw Christopher Cross, and enjoyed the company and evening quite a bit.
