Wow that video...just...wow...it's almost like my pre-TLM decades were a soundtracked nightmare.

Marty Haugen and David Haas remind me of Häagen-Dazs®: https://irkutskice.substack.com/p/b93b64c8-5322-4981-bcf3-5805399a7b9f

Haagen-Dasz = Haugen-Haas lol … I’m going to steal that.

I think I stole the joke from someone else originally...

I never realized it, but Haugen is Lutheran and more officially a Protestant songwriter even though he did get a degree from a very liberal "Catholic univeristy"

Haas, meanwhile, has kind of been cancelled for reasons unrelated (or maybe not) to his music: https://www.reddit.com/r/Catholicism/comments/14y83z2/david_haas_is_it_right_to_cancel_him/

So maybe our musical nightmare is near its end.
