It’s Easter Sunday. We try really hard not to delve into politics or religion on this show; we’re non-judgmental listening at its finest. But I have noticed that a lot of my favourite singer/songwriters have name-checked the man upstairs in songs that aren’t exactly religious. So, because I’m never one to pass up a fun and easy theme, we heard some songs for Jesus, and then some songs just for us down here.
