Personal Jesus
Just been listening to Johnny Cashes version of ‘Personal Jesus’ by Depeche Mode. According to the Wiki
The song was inspired by the book Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley. According to songwriter Martin Gore:
It’s a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care. It’s about how Elvis was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships; how everybody’s heart is like a god in some way, and that’s not a very balanced view of someone, is it?
Oh moaning, there has been truth in these words for me. But not just looking for Jesus in people but lots of things around me. Idols.
