"Stand Up For Judas" was written by Leon Rosselson (but Gaughan did a fine recording of it on "Handful of Earth"). Some people think ROsselson was being tongue-in-cheek. I think he was dead serious.

I once played it on WWUH radio; and immediately got a call from one of the other DJs saying "I can't believe you played that". Seems that one other DJ had played it once, and some thin-skinned bloke in the listening audience had taken it on himself not to call the DJ and voice a complaint, but rather to send a letter directly to the university president. The president, mindful of both artistic integrity and First Amendment concerns, simply handed the letter to the radio station GM, who responded appropriately. . . .
