"And you, liar, teller of tall tales; you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn the sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song..."*
