Unforgettable. Saw this on Channel Five in 1980 when I was in LA.
Nice to see it again.
John was a big loss to comedy

Yeah, but I guess people don't go to appreciate the spiritual nuances. They go for similar reasons to why people (used to) go to churches and cathedrals. To worship their gods in the greatest splendor that contemporary architecture can manage. When I saw The Rolling Stones at Wembley it felt a lot like that. We got talking to a French girl who'd followed the tour all round Europe, seeing exactly the same performance over and over again. It's interesting how many obsessives like that there are when it comes to music. (The friend who persuaded me to go to that gig was one of them). When I recently went to a local pub to see a The Smiths tribute band (called The Joneses) it was an altogether different experience. But, then, I suppose I was worshiping a false god and Morrissey might strike me down with a bolt of lightening.

Touché!

I think that, as with many theists, the French women you spoke to probably relies on her connection with The Stones for her social network and sense of identity. Whatever it takes, eh?

I absolutely love Pink Floyd's Pompeii video

... where the gods played upon Olympus and deigned to send their works to the mortals in their thrall. Note that one of the comments below, endorsed by 1.3K people was 'The whole Pompeii video is a religious experience for me' and one of the replies was 'Floyd be praised' :)
