52 Years Ago Is
the pope a pop star? Time and the Billboard charts will tell. A papal
prog-rock album, “Wake Up!,” will drop on Nov. 27. That’s Black Friday,
as it happens, but you can’t stuff it into the Christmas stocking
because it’s digital only, at least for now.
The Vatican has already released one of the 11 tracks on the album, “Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!” It’s made up of excerpts from a papal speech, set to electric guitars and drums, with some guest vocalists singing. The song is not, it should be noted, an earworm.
