Re: covers and uncovered

Sorry guys,

I originally meant to post this in response to Oncleboo.  I sent it to him, 
and forgot to put it on the list.

Point well taken.  Although my post was in response to yours, it wasn't 
directed at you necessarily.  My point was merely that there seem to be a 
fair number of people who wouldn't dream of listening to anything with the 
slightest Christian overtones, yet they don't have any qualms about listening 
to music (such as reggae) that has other religious influences.  I was just 
looking for a little consistency.
