If Everyone was Listening is the song that made me think of the Jesus connection. Dreamer goes on to examine wishing for something better and Rudy is the reality check. I think Asylum goes on to say 'well we're all crazy really'. But really the 'machine' wants him to 'hush his face'. On one hand he's being told - yeah, yeah boy - you go ahead and complain, you're quite right. Now I believe "Rudy" has started to complain about things. It points to how ridiculous schooling is. The song before - School - is the start of the journey. So if you think of it as a rock opera like that (which were very popular at the time). Under this belief, I concluded that this album works at many levels with the 'Crime of the Century' being the stripping of humanity and decency from people, until they become Rudy and eventually are 'crucified'. General CommentI always thought that Supertramp, the name was some reference to Jesus - and NO I am not a religious nut.
