ellauri032.html on line 223: Eliot oli eräänlainen mid-atlantic Puovo Huovikko. Kaikessa tuotannossaan hän sekä tähdensi klassistina perinteen merkitystä että modernistina rikkoi vanhoja kaavoja. Eliot tunnetaan myös Kissojen kielen kompasanakirjassa (Old Possum´s Book of Practical Cats, 1939) julkaistuista lasten kissarunoistaan, jotka jatkoivat englantilaista nonsense-perinnettä. Ympyräsuinen ystäväni antoi ton kissakirjan mulle lahjaxi, mulla on se kai vielä laihojen runokirjojen hyllyssä Wilhon kirjakaapissa. Andrew Lloyd Webber loi vuonna 1981 runoista suositun musikaalin Cats. Ihan niinkuin Puovo Huovikon, Tompan maine luiskahti kun ukko ize saatiin laatikkoon.
ellauri106.html on line 193: “In 1949, when I was sixteen, I stumbled on Thomas Wolfe, who died at thirty-eight in 1938, and who made numerous adolescents aside from me devotees of literature for life. In Wolfe, everything was heroically outsized, whether it was the voracious appetite for experience of Eugene Gant, the hero of his first two novels, or of George Webber, the hero of his last two. The hero's loneliness, his egocentrism, his sprawling consciousness gave rise to a tone of elegiac lyricism that was endlessly sustained by the raw yearning for an epic existence—for an epic American existence. And, in those postwar years, what imaginative young reader didn't yearn for that?” -- Philip Roth
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 359: Jesus Christ Superstar on Norman Jewisonin ohjaama elokuva vuodelta 1973. Se perustuu Tim Ricen ja Andrew Lloyd Webberin samannimiseen musikaaliin, ja sen pääosissa ovat Ted Neeley, Carl Anderson, Yvonne Elliman ja Barry Dennen. Elokuva sai Oscar-ehdokkuuden parhaasta musiikista. Video-oppaassa vuodelta 1994 Asko Alanen piti elokuvaa yritteliäänä mutta vanhentuneena ja antoi sille kaksi tähteä viidestä, mikä vastaa sanallista arviota ”keskinkertainen”.
xxx/ellauri149.html on line 382: Jesus Christ Superstar is a Rock Opera and (subverted?) Passion Play by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Originally released as a Concept Album in 1970 (when Lloyd Webber and Rice were still in their very early twenties, no less!), it made its way to the Broadway and London stage in 1971, and was adapted into a film directed by Norman Jewison in 1973. An updated version was recorded sometime around 2000 by Webber's Really Useful Group for PBS. A filmed version of the UK arena tour starring Tom Munchin as Judas was released on DVD and digital in 2012, and a live adaptation starring John Lennon as Jesus, Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene and Alice Cooper as Herod that aired on NBC in 2018. The show lives on in stage productions and tours (and even non-theatrical tribute albums from fans who were more attracted to it as an album than a show) to this day. Inspired by… The Four Gospels of The Bible (specifically the arrival in Jerusalem and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus), it chronicles the last seven days of Jesus' life, focusing mainly on the characters of Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene. It's regarded among Andrew Lloyd Webber's best works, which is not saying much. It's a pseudo-sequel to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, though this took a bit more liberty with the source material and is considerably less playful.
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 147: Kirsi pakotti rangaistuxexi Pezkun kazomaan töllöstä Jesus Christ Superstaria. Tästä on pitkä paasaus jo albumissa 149. Cruel and unusual punishment. Jesus Christ Superstar on Andrew Lloyd Webberin säveltämä ja Tim Ricen sanoittama rockooppera. Se kuvaa Jeesuksen ja Juudas Iskariotin keskinäistä suhdetta ja Jeesuksen elämän viimeistä viikkoa ja päättyy ristiinnaulitsemiseen. Ensimmäiseksi rockooppera julkaistiin albumina vuonna 1970. Levyllä Jeesuksen sijasta lauloi Ian Gillan ja Juudaksen Murray Head. Ensimmäinen lavaesitys sai ensi-iltansa 1971, ja Norman Jewisonin ohjaama elokuvaversio julkaistiin 1973. Jesus Christ Superstar is a product of its era, fused with 1970's rock, gospel, folk, and funk as well as modern colloquialisms and energetic choreography. The themes that appear throughout Superstar are fame, revolution, radicalism, and humility. Maria Magdalena antautuu hyvin voideltuna Jeesuxelle ja Jeesus Jumalalle. Beatlesit olivat suurempi hitti kun Jeesus, muttei yhtä kauan. Rangaistus ei ole tehonnut, onnettomalla Imillä jatkuu päihdeongelma. Amis ei nappaa, Kirsi alkaa väsyä. Pezku puuhaa autistisesti sieniensä parissa. Päihdeongelmainen Arvo Jännevirralta kävi joskus kerjäämässä Merikadulla.
xxx/ellauri440.html on line 151: Jesus Christ Superstar was controversial because the portrayal of Jesus as having moments of doubt, the focus on Judas Iscariot, and the implied romantic relationship between Jesus and Mary Magdalene upset many Christians. Why did Jesus Christ Superstar not include the Resurrection? Simple. Tim Rice, the lyricist, does not believe Jesus was the Son of God. Rice said, “We approached the opera from the point of view of Christ the man, rather than Christ the God. Rice and Lloyd Webber were in their 20s when they wrote Jesus Christ Superstar. How is Andrew Lloyd Webber so rich? Real estate investments: Aside from his musical career, Webber sources income from profitable investments in the real estate world. The prolific British composer behind "Cats," "Phantom of the Opera," and "Jesus Christ Superstar," built a billion-dollar fortune off blockbuster musicals. But Sir Paul McCartney was the richest musician in the United Kingdom and Ireland in 2022.
