I own a copy of an LP (remember them?) titled "The Begatting of a President". It describes the ascendency of President Richard Nixon in a biblical text read by Orson Welles. One line describes him holding up his hands so they could see the marks of his crucifixion and marvel at his resurrection. It ends "Let us pray." It was remarkably prescient. It would have been a waste of talent, but he could make a living just talking.
