The linkage between "Born-Again Bored Housewives", "Jesus-is-My-Boyfriend", and "Delta Dawn" was one of those ideas that just goes ZANG! into your head. Scary part is the dynamics of it actually make sense. And now for the kicker: At junior college in the mid-Seventies, I got mixed up in a flaky "Christian Fellowship (TM)", Extreme Discipling/Gospel-according-to-Hal-Lindsay subtype. Some of them actually thought (and taught) that "Delta Dawn" WAS a Stealth Christian Testimony Song about the Bride of Christ and the Rapture. I figured you’d get a kick out of it.
