I'm trying really hard to wrap my brain around this and am failing. The Thorn Birds is reportedly being adapted as a musical. Imagine the possible numbers: You Can't Make Love for Toffee (You Complacent, Conceited, Self-Centered Bastard!"); Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon; Son of a Preacher Man; Father de Bricassart's Lament; Livin' In Dragheda; Ashes of Rose; I Love You (But I Love God More)... --Kim
Okay, that brought tears of laughter to my face. Don't forget "Father, Give Me Last Rites: I Just Got My Period!"
ReplyDeleteGood one--we had to get the Aunt Flo scene in there somewhere...
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to read "The Thorn Birds" over and over, at least once per summer. She had a thing for priests breaking their vows.
ReplyDeleteI can't fault your mom for that... I have the same predilection. I think it dates back to Heath Ledger in The Order.
