EDIT: Sometimes I feel like I never had so much fun in my life like I have when browsing through this forum. EDIT II: As for Mike being Jesus, or a reincarnation of Jesus, that's really an old piece of news. At least in here. -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: Jan. 10 2007, 03:14 Oh there are several of them I'm sure. I may have even started one myself about my Jesus doll that I bought specifically because it looked like Mike from the Ommadawn cover. And I have also told the story of being forced to go to church until the age of 16 and for 3 years after I had heard TB but before I had seen a picture of Mike, I fantasized about the image of Jesus, and listened to nothing but TB. When I saw Mikes black and white TB photo in 1976 when I was 16, my fate was sealed. Instant Karma Baby!!!!!! -------------- I hate getting up early.

(I don't know if there is one! I searched "jesus" using "beginning and newer" and "all open forums" and got a couple of pages. Of course, lots are non-relevant or only vaguely related.

SoimSandheaver Group: Members Posts: 325 Joined: May 2006 Posted: Jan. 11 2007, 10:13 When I first saw the cover of Ommadawn, I always thought Mike looked strikingly similar to the traditional view of Jesus Christ. So, I expected a "holy" sort of tune, if you will, when I first listened to it. For the first three minutes, it did sort of fit a "holy" category, but it did evolve from the gentle tune at the beginning and it is truly an Album of sheer brilliance. -------------- "Three blokes go into a pub, one of them's a little bit stupid, then the whole scene unfolds, with a tedious inevitability."

I think maybe you could be right there...

So theres your proof right there people. But timshen said - Maybe Mike is a descendant of Brian. Well if thats the case, then he is NOT the Messiah, he is just a very naughty boy!!! @ Galadriel, may I meet your friend please? I have seen or met very few people in my life who bear such a striking resemblance to Jesus or Mike and my whole lifes desire has been to date one, at this late stage I'd be happy just to kiss one!!! My Michael had long hair when I met him and I begged him to grow a beard which he did AFTER he cut his hair off. Now he just resembles a well known fishing identity called Rex Hunt who is not a very attractive man.   -------------- I hate getting up early.

SoimSandheaver Group: Members Posts: 325 Joined: May 2006 Posted: Jan. 12 2007, 03:43 I'm not sure you'd be as keen to meet one of my ICT Teachers, who quickly garnered the name "Mr. Jesus", due to how much he looked like him, he had the long hair, the beard and he even wore sandals! But, he has taken to shaving more frequently, so maybe not... -------------- "Three blokes go into a pub, one of them's a little bit stupid, then the whole scene unfolds, with a tedious inevitability."

Now he just resembles a well known fishing identity called Rex Hunt who is not a very attractive man.   I could imagine it in RE lessons,had I really appreciated Mike's music at the time. If asked a question "What is the Holy Trinity?" I would have replied Tubular Bells, Hergest Ridge and Ommadawn  . I wonder if Mike is a decendant of any Brians too. I guess that's like me too, love long haired hippy men .  Tracy my friend would be happy to meet you, the problem being you're on the other side of the world. He doesn't live too far from me, well about 10 miles away. Yes I've kissed him , but only on the cheek though. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.
