you make a convincing pitch, and you sure know how to pepper it with hooks. but the name "Jesus" was all over music in the 60's and 70's. The list of bands that included it would probably be longer than the list of ones that didn't.

I think your draw to Big Star was that they were clever and confident promoters, like yourself.

Even Black Sabbath was there with After Forever. One of the best bands ever.
