Quote by Howard Sounes

“Like the Rolling Thunder Revue, The Last Waltz was fueled by cocaine. 'It was ankle deep,' says Michael McClure, who read poetry as part of the concert. 'When I look at that film, I get a coke high.' Backstage there was a cocaine room, painted white and decorated with noses cut out of Groucho Marx masks. A tape played sniffing noises. Neil Young came out to sing 'Helpless' with a white lump hanging from his nose. The producers had to hire a Hollywood optical company to have the lump removed from the film.”

“Walking worthy is a continuous effort. It involves understanding the need for God to help us achieve, knowing that we will fail time and time again in our limited human power. It is a humbling walk, which often has much correction from God and the body of Christ to ensure we remain on the straight and narrow path. But it is also a worthwhile walk, knowing that as we die to our desires, plans, and ideas of this world, we begin to experience life and life to the fullest.”

“While Jesus met ancient overarching human expectations related to deity, many Jews of the time held a different inconsistence expectation related to the Messiah. Many Jews who expected a *spiritual* savior and redeemer became Christ followers, but Jews who expected a temporal king and conqueror (who would save the nation of Israel and restore the Jewish kingdom) did not. Jesus met the expectations of those who sought eternal, spiritual truth.”
