Pop culture influences permeate me.
I cannot listen to a particular Chopin prelude without wanting to sing “Could It Be Magic”, an old Barry Manilow hit.
If someone writes me a letter beginning with the line ‘Please allow me to introduce myself…’ I will toss it in the trash. Not only is it probably a form letter, but it brings a less than positive Rolling Stones song to mind.
So today, as I was writing my sermon for Sunday, I wrote the line ‘You must remember this’ and immediately realized that I’d have to rewrite the line.

“Play it once, Sam, for old times’ sake.” Ilsa”You played it for her and you can play it for me.” and “If she can stand it, I can! Play it!” Rick

Which, of course, is what many would be thinking were I to use the line!
