“Always hoped that I’d be an apostle

Knew that I would make it if I tried

Then when we retire

We can write the Gospels

So they’ll still talk about us when we die”

聽到這裡淚目,這是Poor old Judas的自白。

JCS重構了基督教故事:耶稣憑借一次成功的死亡,完成了一場震蕩千年的Propaganda。無論這場宣傳中占主導地位的,是神的旨意還是由凡入聖的必須,他都成功了——無論過去是真是假,十字架上,他都成了貨真價實的King of Jews。JSC從傳播學角度上戲仿并提出問題:

Who are You? What have You sacrificed?

也是為何要要谑稱耶稣為Superstar:

Jesus Christ, superstar:

Do You think You’re what they say You are?

……

Did You mean to die like that?

Was that a mistake, or

Did You know Your messy death would be a record breaker?

JCS所做的,是從壁畫上與頌歌中,把受難與背叛的人像解放出來,讓他們可以有自己的話語,即使是在宗教上極具颠覆性的話語。耶稣可以懷疑過上帝的旨意,猶大也可以有對耶稣矛盾的愛,抹大拉的瑪利亞可以有私念,但最後又忠誠于耶稣……原始文本留給創作者的空間是如此寬廣,無怪來自神話、宗教乃至經典小說的題材,都能夠經受一次又一次的再創作。(點名藻海)

“I don’t know how to love him

I don’t know why He moves me

He’s a man

He’s just a man

He is not a king

He’s just the same

As anyone I know

He scares me so”
