See, some of us were brought up to believe that rock
and roll was evil, was of the devil. Others are
taught that rock and roll in itself is not so bad, as
long as it is "Christian" rock. Well if said person
can offer proof that Creed or whoever are Christians,
whammo! - they get to listen to what all their cool
pagan friends are listening to, and Mamma and Preacher
Bob won't mind. >>
Maybe that idea holds for teenagers but
personally, for me -- it's more about finding like minds amidst all the
voices babbling about this or that out there. Someone like Cockburn says a
lot more that I'm interested in, speaks to *me* IOW, more than someone who
perhaps never thinks on spiritual things.(or at least not enough for it to
color his words) They don't have to nessesarily be Christian, just in tune
with the idea that there is something beyond the veil, that some things are
important enough to fight for for reasons beyond just personal comfort or the
greater good yada yada yada. I could give a shit what momma or preacher man
says but at the same time I'd hope they to (especially PM) would come to see
the good work that is being done. Besides, if truth is being spoken that, in
itself, makes it legitimate whether an artist is Christian or not. Music is a
gift man, I think we forget that sometimes. Even the most ornery atheist, if
he can make music, that's God, whatever he/she thinks about it.
