We interrupt this regularly scheduled Jewish holiday today to acknowledge the second half of the Judeo-Christian Way of Living; it is the second night of Hanukkah, but it is also Dec. 8, which each year is a Holy Day of Obligation for the mystical Roman Catholics, lapsed & otherwise, who are commemorating the Feast of The Immaculate Conception, which celebrates God & Jesus, obvs, but maybe more important, the Blessèd Virgin Mary. Here’s Stevie Wonderboy with his take on the eternal melody, ‘Ave Maria’.
