I don't know if anyone feels the same as me, but as a kid I was convinced Mike was Jesus, when he was in his beardy mode, anyone else have that dilemma LOL!

You've seen it walking on water,
Miracles like you've never seen before...
Holee-ee-ee...


I'm sure there's a thread elsewhere about religious symbolism in Mike's music... will see if I can track it down...

Oooh thanks Tony, interesting read, :-) his music is very spiritual, I am sure jesus would be glad to be associated with Mike Oldfield  :D

Gee where did you get this idea from? I have a porcelain doll of Jesus turning water into wine that I specifically bought because of the resemblance to Mike, my favourite look of his. I've told this story before but from the age of 13 to 16 when I had heard TB but had never seen a picture of Mike, I use to obssess about two things, TB and going to church every Sunday and swooning over the image of Jesus. On my 16th birthday when I was given the song book for TB which included those long haired pics of Mike inc the black and white one him with those amazing eyes, I was hooked. I never felt such a spiritual connection to anything and I never will.

I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day!
