Hilarious.

Did not inhibit the Doobie Brothers and they had a pretty big hit with “Jesus is just all right with me”.

The Byrds (who also recorded Jesus is just all right) also had a huge hit with a song with lyrics pulled from the Bible (by way of Pete Seeger).

Methinks there were other reasons for Big Star not making it big.

Jesus is just alright... Not exactly a ringing endorsement. I’ve examined all of the critques, and none have as of yet actually listened to the songs that Big Star sang which I would call pertinent to the instant case.
