First though, that was good. Second thought was of people I know who wouldn't get either the Jewish or the Joel references. I was recently explaining some Jewish customs to a teenager who knew nothing about Jews or the Sabbath. I admit I didn't know all the foreign words (Yiddish or Hebrew?) but I got the idea.
...and there's a Justin Bieber Easter (at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VcvAlrC7sY ), in which the tattooed young man croons “What have we done with society when everybody’s getting canceled? And can’t there be room for maturity? ’Cause writing ’em off is not the answer.” [With a peer quoting Psalm 139:13-16 -- “You formed the whole of me, inward and out. I am awesomely and wonderfully created. Your creations are spectacular. You skillfully designed me. You saw the essence of me, before I was formed. Before I existed, all of my days were written in your book.”]
