Richard of Chichester (whoever he was) said it first.
I actually think Godspell is a wonderful work. Archbishop Ramsey of Canterbury said that "Jesus Christ Superstar" managed to convey the Gospel in spite of itself, but Godspell achieved what it set out to do.
My favorite teacher, may he rest in peace, said,"It's wonderful! All that "Q' material set to music and made delightful!"
I agree. I have read that there are some theology problems with the message, but I've never looked at the music with that critical eye. I just remember all the wonderful times I had in the 70's and early 80's listening to it over and over again as my vinyl warped. :) And, it's funny because when I WAS listening to it all the time I was a lost person! :) At least it kept the name of God in my mind toward what would happen later. So for me, I consider it a "good".
