whoa, amy! lemme jump in here again before most peeps wake up and read this
little thread in school or at work later on today, just to clarify my
stand.
I ~did~ welcome plain jane's post. that "thanks for the different
perspective" was real thanks. i'm glad she threw this out there; for one
reason it might liven up this list again, for another it takes me way back
to when i began reading this list and was kinda surprised to see that Over
the Rhine was being called a Christian Band and there were so many
Christians on this list.
Sure, there was the song called "A Gospel Number" and it has, shall i
say, ~religious overtones~ :-) but then, so did the Doobie Brothers'
__Jesus Is Just All Right With Me__ but i never made the connection that
the Doobies were a Christian Band.
(That's not to say that i wouldn't be surprised that the individual members
of the Doobies might be Christian of one faith or another or another, but
~as a band~ i'd be surprised.)
O.K. that was the seventies and you kids were busy being born, so how
about more recently the catchy little __What If God Was One of Us__, i
wanna say Jewel but i could be wrong. i think i am wrong but i can't
think how to get right. anyway, "religious overtones" again. Must be a
Christian, huh? But wait, you see the video!? Jesus, she's got a nose
ring!! Can't be a Christian! Or at least not as good a Christian as
Plain Jane, and that brings me right back to the point.
I enjoyed the message, Amy, but i don't think i like the messenger.
Or at least i didn't like her tone. Please don't run away though, plain
jane. you might bring back something this list badly needs lately.
I'd better stop because i'm the last person you'd want to argue for
Christianity.
wait, wait, wait, i don't wanna stop yet. Did plain jane call us sheep?
flocking to the band over and over? something like that, anyway?
No, i don't think i like that, either. there's lots of bands (and other
things) that i've seen time and time again, and never once did i consider
myself a little sheep. but since her post isn't here now for me to see
just what she wrote and how she wrote it, i think i will stop after all.
have a nice day.
and thank you, plain jane. i don't think i like you, but i like what you
offered. Amy, Nikki, Jen, i do like you!
