I can't stand christian rock, mostly I am disgusted by the erotic longing and sexual tension built into it, I swear it makes me think of the cartoon years ago in playboy of two nuns walking in a garden, with a hand near her crotch one says to the other, "Jesus makes me wet". My catholic friends howled hysterically at this cartoon, I found it amusing but as a genuine pervert something was out of kelter in this joke. To me the cartoon is the same as the love sick flame songs served up to crowds of waving white hands at mega church inc. It's missing some logic somewhere. It's like the stunner (but not a stunner) of learning Rick Perry likes to vacation in Amsterdam at $248k cost to Texican tax payers.
Fringe:
ReplyDeleteLooks like Perry is enjoying a Foot Long Hot Dog. Where is the bun? :^)
I also dislike much of the Rap music for the same reason; I find it sexually inappropriate, targeting the minds of the immature.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy does not fully describe the rush of endorphins secreting on his opiate receptors.
Never listened to any Christian Rock myself, I'm sure out there in Kansas they have a few CR stations. Not here in Connecticut, we only have 1 country station, 2 rock stations and the rest is Top 40 or Rap. This is why I invested in an IPod with an FM transmitter
ReplyDeleteSirius radio rocks - I have my 60's and 70's music and NPR loaded in. If nothin else - some vintage Anne Rice porn on CD...

Perry in Amsterdam? Weed or that blond with the white and black Boston terrier on Canal Street?
Someone is sounding like a cranky old fart..... and it's not Sarge.....lol....
ReplyDeleteI like Christian rock even though I'm not Christian. Many of the lyrics are actually not that bad, and I think it's a perfectly good way to incorporate modern music into religion. Better than preachers burning rock n roll records.
So take off those cranky pants and lighten up. Must be all those vegetables you're eating. Think you need a steak.....lol.....

ReplyDeleteIt's fine you like CR. I like lots of people who like different types of music than I do. My wife for example, we don't share much music appreciation.
Yea, maybe a bit of the cranky pants, but not to serious. Vegis had nothing to do with it, I have rarely like CR, and that goes back for years. Now I do like a fair amount of the traditional hymns, appreciate them when I hear them but I'm not buying the CD or hunting them on the radio.
