- This is something that annoys me - alot of people avoid Christian music
- because they know [ alot of ] it sucks, and they assume that the rest of
- it does, and they miss the opportunity to hear lots of good stuff.
-
- To make matters worse, many Christian radio stations have the habit of
- playing the worst stuff most of the time, and then they don't attract
- people, they drive them away. I guess that's what radio does in general,
- though.

- Hey! Disco can be good stuff, though there are many examples of the power
- of disco used for evil. (i.e. Disco Disco Duck, anything by the Village
- People). I'd consider alot of stuff by the Eagles at least on the fringe
- of disco (examples: "Life in the Fast Lane", "I Can't Tell You Why", "One
- of These Nights") and I happen to like them alot. <sniff> <sniff>
-
- Actually, I've heard (from time to time) some disco on the Christian radio
- station in Austin, and it's pretty clear that it came straight from the
- 70's.

- Adios,
