Apparently Madonna may have to change the venue of her concert in Moscow because authorities fear that students at the university next door might accidentally fall out the window in their enthusiasm to hear her (source). It just goes to show that listening to the material girl will not bring the dead to life, even if she is decked out with a crown of thorns and hitched to a wooden cross. On the other hand, listening to Paul's preaching on the true king, who bore the crown of thorns and the wooden cross to take away the sins of the world, will certainly bring about the resurrection of those who are perishing. Poor defenestrated Eutychus would certainly agree (Acts 20:7-12).
