Yeah, that was kind of the point. I added some more blank lines to drive that point home further.

The pope song was my first exposure to him, and while I enjoyed it, it was when I heard some of his other songs (Happy Little Africans, Fuck the Poor, and 'If You Open Your Mind too Much Your Brains Will Fall Out) that he realised how brilliant he is.

I liked '10 Foot Cock and a Few Hundred Virgins' particularly.

But that's okay. I'm a Roman Catholic who thinks he's just a senile old man who is singing the same old hypocritical hymns while wearing a silly hat.
