OT: Vatican calls "Blues Brothers" a Catholic Classic
So assuming the Michigan Marching Band follows tradition this fall and plays the Blues Brothers theme song, will a Vatican approval of Michigan football be far behind?
Should we play it at Notre Dame?

The Blues Brothers are classic to all groups and denominations (except Illinois Nazis). Timeless. And yes, I'm very confident a Vatican approval of Michigan football is soon to come.
I hate Illinois Nazis.
+1 for being first!
1941 is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Because that's what this is.
Something the pope and I agree on. Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in...
Fuckin Penguin.
In my last year in college I was friends with a bunch of M grad students who had a swing cover band called The Johnstown Cats. One of the members of the band actually found a Bluesmobile replica at a junkyard in Ypsi and bought it for $200. Fixed it up, painted it black with a white door, and they drove it to their next gig. It was more popular than the band's music. Car brok down before their next gig.
Did they trade for a microphone afterwards?
[Elwood Blues Jake Blues has a fight over the police car Elwood Blues got after he traded away the original bluesmobile for a microphone]
Elwood: You don't like it?
Jake: No I don't like it...
[Elwood Blues floors the pedal and jumps over an open drawbridge]
Jake: Car's got a lot of pickup.
Elwood: It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
[a brief thinking pause while Jake attempts to light a cigarette]
Jake: Fix the cigarette lighter
Jake: [to Sister Mary Stigmata] Five grand? No problem, we'll have it for you in the morning. Let's go, Elwood.
Sister Mary Stigmata: No, no! I will not take your filthy stolen money!
Jake: Well then... I guess you're really up Shit Creek.
[Sister Mary Stigmata hits Jake Blues with a ruler for using that kind of language]
Sister Mary Stigmata: I beg your pardon, what did you say?
Jake: I offered to help you... You refused to take our money. Then I said: I guess you're really up Shit Creek.
[Sister Mary Stigmata hits Jake Blues with the ruler again]
Elwood: Christ, Jake. Take it easy man.
[Sister Mary Stigmata hits Elwood Blues]
Jake: Oh shit!
[Sister Mary Stigmata hits Jake Blues]
Elwood: Jesus Christ!
[Sister Mary Stigmata hits Elwood Blues]
Jake: Shit!
Excellent "retirement" benefits, and now this. In another 30 years, they may also have made their peace with Sinead O'Connor... Well, no, probably not....
In with "We're on a mission from God."
4 fried chickens and a coke.
And some dry white toast for the cardinals.
"We got two honkies out there dressed like Hasidic diamond merchants."
Pretty sure the line, "How much for the little girl" got lost in the Italian. Or maybe, His Holiness is simply a huge Stax/Chess/Atlantic fan.
The Holy Father has John Lee Hooker on vinyl.
... to divert attention from some other matters on the Pope's plate (4 fried chickens and a Coke or toasted white bread, dry please).
THE BAAAND!!! I have SEEN the LIGHT!!!!
(Now who wants an orange whip while we wait for the season to start?)
