6. Cool! I ran into them just after that and
|
became a fan of the group. I've always loved and admired good a cappella singers but they take it to a whole new level.

11. Absolutely! They're very talented...

I'm not super easy to impress but being able to take a familiar song and make it fresh while remaining true to the original writer's muse is a rare gift. I'd say this cover of Imagine is my favorite so far with their cover of Cohen's Hallelujah a close second.

7. Yeah, their FB feed is how I learned this...
|
and a few commentators weren't happy that the group was being 'political'.
I remember the uproar in some churches when Lennon released Imagine. I like to think he'd have liked this Pentatonix cover. |

9. Wow, thank you! That brought back some memories...

I loved that show back in the day and this censorship episode/story line is a classic, although I think the Turkey drop episode is better known.
Unfortunately I also knew fundies ministers like that a bit too well eons ago and that actor really nailed how they often are, sanctimonious smirk and all. |
