I like both the Doobie Brothers version and the original. A toe tapping ditty!

I don’t think there is anything wrong with Jesus. He seemed a kind of righteous dude… now how some have interpreted him and his message… that’s another story.

It’s widely held that he invented Tacos, and Taco Tuesday. I love him for that.

Hmm. I always heard it as hockey, not soccer. But I’m Canadian.

“Jesus saves, but Espo scores on the rebound!”

I’m also, apparently, old.

That explains that then…
