A Rock Opera/Song Cycle/Post-Ironic Parable
The Cubby Creatures' performance of "Jesus Christ, You're Crazy" on May 9, 2003, was an important and memorable evening for two reasons: it was the first and only time the Cubby Creatures performed the legendary rock opera/song cycle/post-ironic parable, and it was Karl's last show with the Cubby Creatures. The Cubbies played two sets, the first being their presentation of "Jesus Christ, You're Crazy," which was a stripped down, bare-bones version of the rock opera, with Karl doing narration; and the second being a set comprised of songs that the Cubby Creatures felt could never be played again without Karl and selections Karl made because he wanted to play them one last time. The pictures available from this performance, viewable by clicking the thumbnails to the right, are from the entire evening. We encourage you also to read more about the show and "Jesus Christ, You're Crazy" by clicking the "read more" link below to view text from the handout we made available at the show.
