Subj : FRIENDLY WARNING To : DAVID DUVALL From : STEVE KEMP Date : Fri May 14 2004 01:58 am DD>Is it because a lot of these bands seem like they are copying secular DD>bands, Huh? Since when is "that which is copied" is secular"? Look at Creed! They are Godsmack with a Christian bent...which came first? And they are BOTH A.I.C. clones mixed with a bit of Soundgarden and... Point is, what religious bands should they copy? DD>but just putting in Christian lyrics (or "watered down" lyrics DD>to appeal to those of different beliefs)? The more successful Christian bands ARE changers with the times... like ALL other bands! Methinks your arguments is silly. For what you are saying is that "Christian bands" can't adapt to current trends, or to their own more modern wants, without being called followers of "trends"...but I don't see you complaining about EVERYONE else that "evolves" within the music scene. AGAIN, it's a moot point, IMO. Christians can do whatever everyone else does without MY judging them! --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5a * Origin: FidoTel & QWK on the Web! www.fidotel.com (1:275/311) .
