I got to work with Corey Glover about a year ago on a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. The guy is about 5'0" and man, what a set of pipes! He made a great Judas to play off Ted Neeley's Jesus.

His former piano teacher Rita Beglin said "Reznor always reminded me of Harry Connick, Jr." when he played.

Reznor later confessed, "I don't want to give the impression it was a miserable childhood."

At the Mercer Area Junior and Senior High Schools, Reznor learned to play the saxophone and tuba. He was a member of both the jazz and marching band. Former Mercer High School band director Dr. Hendley Hoge remembered Reznor as "very upbeat and friendly". Reznor also became involved in theater while in high school. He was voted "Best in Drama" by classmates for his roles as Judas in Jesus Christ Superstar.

Also he dropped out of college while studying computer engineering in 1983.

He was a janitor for studio owner Bart Koster, who commented that Reznor was "so focused in everything he [did]. When that guy waxed the floor, it looked great."

Reznor often travels under the assumed name "Steve Austin" from The Six Million Dollar Man.

Every time I look at you I don't understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand.
You'd have managed better if you'd had it planned.
Why'd you choose such a backward time in such a strange land?
If you'd come today you could have reached a whole nation.
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

CHOIR

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you're what they say you are?

VOICE OF JUDAS

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.
Who'd you think besides yourself's the pick of the crop?
Buddha, was he where it's at? Is he where you are?
Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or
Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker?
Don't you get me wrong.
I only want to know.

Don't know if anyone else on The Sift will care, but LC is my all-time favorite rock band.

This was the first single off their second album; I'm proud to say that the band is now back together, recording and touring, and are rocking harder than ever.

A side note: the lead singer of King's X is currently standing in for Corey Glover (the lead singer) on tour, because he is playing Judas in the current tour of Jesus Christ Superstar, and is getting great reviews.

Glover was an actor (with parts in commercials and Oliver Stone's Platoon) before lead guitarist Vernon Reid heard him singing "Happy Birthday" to a mutual friend at a party, and rock history was made.

I just remember that you couldn’t get away from hearing music from “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Tommy” back then. A friend of mine was fanatical about those soundtracks too.

My dad sang in the choir for a Jesus Christ Superstar Opera rendition when he was college back in the early 70's, hehe. Wow, the memories.
