Vaso.Of.Suburbia Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Jesus Christ Supermarket would be such a nice title... Also, is it my idea or Billie Joe is heavily influenced by Christianity? (Jesus Of Suburbia, Jesus Christ Supermarket, East Jesus Nowhere, Mother Mary, Bullet in A Bible, Nimrod and more) Aaaaaaw you religious freak!
TheSaltOfTheEarth Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I wholeheartedly agree with Billie - Jesus Christ Supermarket WAS a much better title. Oh well, I guess
Marki. Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Oh my god, I love when Billie tweets JCSM would have been a great title
Katarina. Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 One regret? Insomniac was going to be called "jesus christ supermarket". JCSM is a much better title. Oh well.. Funny he tweeted that. Like he's still regretting not calling Insomniac JCSM. As soon as I read it, I thought "Billie Joe.. what are you thinking.. naming the next album JCSM, or what?.." Especially the 'Oh well..' part made me think that. It is a great title, so why not.
Kayfabe Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 My thoughts: @BJAofficial all due respect beej, I think Insomniac was a way better title for it. It suits the songs. All dark n twisty, y'know?

(Jesus Of Suburbia, Jesus Christ Supermarket, East Jesus Nowhere, Mother Mary, Bullet in A Bible, Nimrod and more) Aaaaaaw you religious freak! He has said in some interview last year (I forgot which one. It was on a tv show. The interview where he showed how a water bong or something like that worked ) that he has kind of a fetish with Christianity, haha. But I do think he is interested in Christianity, yes.

Curious interest bordering on obsession, maybe.

Vaso.Of.Suburbia Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I thought Billie was very anti-religious Me too. I believe I had heard him saying in an interview that he is an atheist. So he's an atheist obsessed with religious themes?
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I thought Billie was very anti-religious If (if, not agreeing nor denying) he is , that doesn't mean he can't be interested by it.
JaseminTheIdiot Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Me too. I think I believe heard him saying in an interview that he was an atheist. So he's an atheist obsessed with religious themes? maybe maybe ?! No one knows. If (if, not agreeing nor denying) he is , that doesn't mean he can't be interested by it. Yup, this is right!
Vaso.Of.Suburbia Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 maybe maybe ?! No one knows. No one can understand what's Billie Joe's obscure mind thinking
Fuzz Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 I thought Billie was very anti-religious I'm not sure they're anti-religious, they're just not pro-religious.
Izzard Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 He said he was agnostic...which is very different from atheist. But I don't see why his religious beliefs are really any of our concern..
jtdscape Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I thought Billie was very anti-religious I'm not sure they're anti-religious, they're just not pro-religious. For the interview on the flip side of the Look For Love single that has that interview with Billie they ask him about what he learns and school and stuff and Billie says something along the lines of that he learns prayers and to love god and stuff so I would say that what he learned in school kind of just stuck with him through life.....its a possibility.
Fuzz Posted February 6, 2011 Author Posted February 6, 2011 He said he was agnostic...which is very different from atheist. But I don't see why his religious beliefs are really any of our concern.. Calm down, no one was starting a crusade to convert him. Just discussing the reasoning for a title like Jesus Christ Supermarket, or the names Jesus of Suburbia and Christian.
ParadoxAndPlaid Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 Sorry if somebody already said it but; 'Jesus Christ Supermarket' was a direct play on 'Jesus Christ Superstar' considering his tattoo I'm guessing Billie really likes it. I would not call them "anti-religion" they just have a sense of humor and wary about it, just like cast of JCS did.

I think he's said in interviews since about how his views had changed. most recently there was that interview where all 3 said they went to the baptism of a friend's, and they couldn't really believe the stuff the preist was saying.

I wasn't trying to start anything and I am calm... maybe you just read what I wrote with different intent behind it? I'll assume that

I would not call them "anti-religion" they just have a sense of humor and wary about it, just like cast of JCS did. I think it's this. Plus the idea of religion being sold wholesale like tins of baked beans.
Laura! Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I actually tweeted that after he sent his tweet So did I. Great minds think alike!
hellsbells Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I dont think "why?" really matters I really like the title that never was *shrugs shoulders and walks away*
jake smith Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 wow i haven't been on Twitter for a while, he's becoming addicted!

Also, One of My Lies. "I used to pray at night" and the rest of that part. (just kind of adding that to the conversation, not really a direct reaction to you) Sorry if somebody already said it but; 'Jesus Christ Supermarket' was a direct play on 'Jesus Christ Superstar' considering his tattoo I'm guessing Billie really likes it. http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drc800/c852/c85240o6860.jpg I would not call them "anti-religion" they just have a sense of humor and wary about it, just like cast of JCS did. No one has said it, but I thought that was kind of really obvious, haha. As for the tattoo though, I remember some interview where he said he saw the logo on a friend's album and really liked the logo so he got it tattooed, without really knowing what the album was. And that it was like one of his first tattoos.
Izzard Posted February 6, 2011 Posted February 6, 2011 I used to think when they would talk about it being called JCSM that it was a play on MMs album Anti Christ superstar me and my brain I looked at Billies listed followers and 20 of them are the SAME person...
