Bigger Than...Jesus?

 BTS or "Bulletproof Boy Scouts" is mucking up Las Vegas. BTS is, upon keyboarding a google search, a Korean 'boy band' and a titanic hit with the kids. In Korean, BTS means "bangtan sonyeondan." Who knew. Anyway Vegas has flipped the script on traffic nightmares, packed Allegiant Stadium (home of the Las Vegas Raiders that used to be the Oakland Raiders), had the young folk standing in line under a hot Las Vegas springtime sun swooning all over the damn place, and in general pissing off the local Las Vegas denizens. 'Bulletproof Boy Scouts'...say what? I did not know. Turns out I did not know, did not care to know, couldn't care less, and the 'Bulletproof Boy Scouts' will be in Vegas next weekend for a second round of teenage frenzy. Today is Palm Sunday which is a sort of big deal with christians. Jesus never packed an Allegiant Stadium. Next Sunday is Easter. I'm thinking that 'BTS' never resurrected from the dead (you see christians believe that resurrection thing about Jesus) and yet the scouts can fill an NFL stadium to the very tippy top with screaming in teenage frenzy girlies and dance the night away at the fifty yard line. I do not know where the 'boys' had their stage set up. I do not care. I can't believe that Vegas would go teenage girl insane over Korean pop stars. Oh well...I am a bit jaded having been able to see Led Zeppelin live and in concert back in the day before Led Zeppelin had made it big. Really big. I also got to see Santana live and in concert as the Santana band started their climb up the charts. At the Terrace Ball Room. The Terrace is torn down history now. The Terrace Ball Room was a great concert venue. I'm thinking that Allegiant Stadium would make for one really crappy concert venue. Not very up close and personal to be sure. So and in Las Vegas, BTS the 'bulletproof boy scouts' are bigger than Jesus and so it goes at the almost end of the first quarter of the twenty first century. In Las Vegas that is. I'm thinking that the BTS phenomena might just knock old Jesus off'n the charts in Baptist Texas. Could be...maybe. Now for some Palm Sunday machine artistry.

I don't know if'n the BTS kids are bulletproof but then I think that Jesus wasn't either. Jesus certainly wasn't crucifixion proof. Happy Palm Sunday everyone. Go out and gets yourselves a palm tree and raise coconuts for peace. 😁
