American Heaven
Headlines from today’s Google News:
Singer Jan Berry, 62; Half of Surf Music Duo
Screeching for heaven at Mach 7
“The promise of 70 virgins in paradise and the equivalent of about $20 was all it took to convince a Palestinian teenager to turn himself into a suicide bomber…”
A more modest paradise, from a Jan Berry obituary today:
With Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, William Jan Berry co-wrote the lyrics for “Surf City” with its lines about taking the station wagon to a place where there are “two girls for every boy.”*
* Theological footnote for feminists:
In some other regions of American Heaven, there may be two boys for every girl.
