An angle in ones vision, like this, typically and tragically lessens the
validity of the music. Not all the time, but as a rule, a bias such as
"Christian Rock" tends to reduce itself to nothing more than watered down,
Christian version of 80's hair bands. Rather than "She's Only 17", we now
will hear "She is a Christian Queen".

Her? Opera? Hahahaha...you have GOT to be kidding me. Range...my dog has
more range grunting when he shits!

Tragically still, I am convinced that the great minds and artists die way
before their time, and the crap is left behind to further proliferate the
idea that this is indeed hell on earth.

Examples? John Belushi (SP?) dead...his lame ass brother Jim...alive. George
Harrison and John Lennon...dead...Ringo and Paul...alive. Jimmi
Hendrix..dead. Eddie VanHalen...alive. Stevie Ray Vaughn...dead...every last
member of every boy band still lingers on. We are doomed!

Reminds me of what I use to tell my wife. "Punk is a state of mind, not how
many clothes you buy at Hot Topic". Todd can prolly vouch for this one  on a
mutual friend. Andy Fuertsch is one of the biggest punks around. Yet he
looks like the Gerber baby. Yes, I have seen the Gerber baby flick lit
cigarettes at the crowd in Austin, and get himself and the rest of Texas God
banned from clubs....it is indeed, a state of mind.
