- This should have started out as a "tapes on my desk" post, but C (young,
- pretty, but not so bright co-op student from local community college) came
- over to my desk, saw the tapes and said "Oh! What kind of music do you
- like to listen to?"
- Knowing that her knowledge of music does not extend beyond Reba
- MacIntyre I decided to have some fun.
- "Christian rock."
- "Really!" Giving me the eye. "You?"
- "Yeah! See this one, Jesus Jones? Well Jones is slang for an addiction
- and these guys are hooked on Jesus."
- C gets a confused look on her face.
- I go on.
- "And this one, Nine Inch Nails, is a reference to the nails
- used to crucify Christ. Why here, look at this song, 'Help Me, I Am
- in Hell" it's about what awaits all sinners."
-
- Even *I* don't belive it, but she's buying it. I drop the A bomb.
-
- "And these guys call themselves 'Ministry' cause that what they use
- their music as."
- She walks off, thinking of me in a new light.
- I expect things will be different tomorrow after she talks to her
- boyfriend Melvin (his real name, no shit!) tonight.
