- To use the somewhat famous programmer's line... "Hello Wild and Wacky CCM
- World!" This is the first time that I have posted to a newsgroup so please
- allow me to intro m'self. I was the token rock DJ for KUWL up here in
- Fairbanks until Pastor fired me over playing Dissolved by Circle of Dust. I
- guess I wouldn't be so upset about it if we weren't playing upwards of 20hrs of
- P&W stuff every weekend. Why is it that when there is an equally small
- minority of P&W addicts as there are rockers that churches always bow and
- scrape to P&W?? Maybe its because they have all the money. (sigh) It's not
- that Im bitter (mostly), just frustrated.
- Anyway, as far as the debate on King's X, Extreme, etc. ... I beleive that you
- have to look at the band as a whole. NOT just the lyrics or the style. King's
- X, Rez, Maggie B. :-) , etc. have shown that they are genuinely concerned about
- the people they are singing to. Does Extreme have any ties to a local church?
- Do they spend any time with youth either before or after concerts? As Paul
- wrote "Faith without works is dead." If a band is not living in a manner that
- at least TRIES to follow after God, then what buisness do we have promoteing
- them? Anyone can write 'spiritual' lyrics. This is why I refuse to endorse U2
- even though I own some of their older albums.
- Sorry this is such a lengthy post. I just needed to get some stuff off of my
- chest. TTFN
-
- ps. Under Midnight is a new group. The CD is self titled & Wonderland is the
- name of their record label.
