The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day
Elvis Presley, "Viva Las Vegas" via iTunes (The Last Angry Man)
Commentary: It occurs to me that I am utterly & implacably opposed to the lifestyle described in "Viva Las Vegas." It is impossible to square such a lifestyle with any but the most superficial & hypocritical Christian faith. We are all sinners, undoubtedly; we all fall short of the glory, thus necessitating our dependence on grace & mercy. But we are called to strive mightily toward holiness, not to abandon ourselves to the hedonism & licentiousness of "Viva Las Vegas."
