Or at least has numerous religious references in his music, according to this guy's book, "The Gospel According to Bruce". They just interviewed him on NPR WE Morning Edition.

"Ultimately, he says, "Jungle Land" gives the sense that the bad guys have won ? until that famous last scream from Springsteen."

Just before the trading deadline, we swapped three heavy hitters and some also-rans to the Lake in return for prospects that we hope will work out. GL managers think they got a deal, but they'll find the contractual burden quite high ... and talk about primadonnas, my goodness. Meanwhile, though, we do have to put up with the occasional "Springsteen is God" title, though in defense of WarmBeer, the post itself is well within traditional SPL standards.

In 1966 the Rutles faced the biggest threat to their careers. Nasty in a widely quoted interview had apparently claimed that the Rutles were bigger than God, and was reported to have gone on to say that God had never had a hit record. The story spread like wildfire in America. Many fans burnt their albums, many more burnt their fingers attempting to burn their albums. Album sales skyrocketed, People were buying them just to burn them. But in fact it was all a ghastly mistake. Nasty, talking to a slightly deaf journalist, had claimed only that the Rutles were bigger than Rod. Rod Stewart would not be big for another eight years, and certainly at this stage hadn't had a hit. At a press conference, Nasty apologised to God, Rod and the Press, and the tour went ahead as planned. It would be the Rutles' last.
