  Check out "Should I see" by Frozen Ghost. It sounds like it was written by folks from this board.

  Source: Interview with Van Morrison, conducted by Stephen Davis; from the August 1985 issue of the magazine New Age; transcribed by David Chance

  Davis: There's a lot of the gospel sound in your music. Is it true your family were Jehovah's Witnesses?

  Van Morrison: No no no no, not really. My mother was in it for a while, a brief encounter, that was all.

  Davis:: Were you taken door-to-door as a child with the Witnesses?

  Van Morrison: No, but I was taken to a couple of meetings. I found them quite pleasant, but that was all.

  Thanks for this Tristram!

  Adam Sandler has a cult song that mentions Russell, I believe. My kids find it quite amusing, caution, some bad language it is Adam Sandler after all.

  There is a song called "It's Good to be Home, Mom", written and sung by a Gilead grad, who married one of my childhood friends. He has since left the JW's. I cannot remember his name..............Wayne Kettelle I think. His wife was Susan................she is still a dub, divorced.

  It's about a man who had left home and done some bad things, but learned "the truth" and reformed his life.
  Some of the lyrics:

  It's good to be home, Mom, yes it's good to be home.

  Let me tell you the things I've learned. There was a man, his name was John,
  and he saw a vision of things beyond.
  There were little children laughing, who once were dead

  That's about all I can remember. It was really a beautiful song, with moving lyrics. I have the record somewhere in the house, but no record player.

  Anyone else ever hear this one?
