Sun Ra on Jesus’s mistake:
Sun Ra is not a person, it’s a business name…, it’s a certificate which was gotten in New York City; they didn’t notice that I didn’t have down there what my business was. They stamped it, notarized it, and they filed it. Therefore, it’s a business name, and my business is changing the planet. If Jesus had done that, gone and gotten himself a business certificate, he’d have had the right and he wouldn’t have had to go up there on the cross. But then, he didn’t have no legality, and he didn’t have any authority behind him whatsoever. …So Sun Ra is a business name. …And business is not family, nothing. They just happen. A business just happens, it’s not born. …And corporations are like that, they just happen. And they’re eternal, too.
They will expire if no one files with the state, but they are weirdly potentially immortal.
