Rocking out with The Pope...

The Official Vatican Newspaper releasing a Top Ten Albums List is bizarre, and it is not bizarre. It wasn't an official pronouncement of the Pope, it was some editors at the newspaper with space to fill, something fun to brighten up a section. In my days as an editor of a college newspaper, this kind of thing happened all the time. And I can't really fault them for putting Revolver at the top slot. Still, one can't shake the impression that this is worlds colliding, which seems to be happening a lot around the Vatican these days.

80+ years old, and takes a tackle like a champ. Best Pope ever.

But, as the video shows, everything will go on as before.
