It's funny but my Dad, a baptist minister, was trying to get me to quit listening to Christian Rock. I made him listen to "It Is Finished" and he shook his head. He said that the Gospel shouldn't be spread in the world's way. Then he floored me by saying,"What if I decided to make a Christian pornographic movie to reach the people who like that sort of thing?" -we've talked about that too.... see Christian porn thread in the dump.... __________________ facebook 05-21-2003 13:37 joey Platyhelminth Registration Date: 01-08-2003 Posts: 7,231 Location: the biggest fans are often the biggest critics ... sometimes taken as complaining ... get used to it. :P - mountain fan quote: Originally posted by Stuart Pedasso WWJD take a big stick and open a serious can of whoop burro.

The moment you have to charge for the product it's a business. Pure and simple. If it's to be a ministry, then give people access to the message for free. I like a lot of Christian music and will pay to listen to music that I find personally affirming. I'd rather hear people shout out about Jesus, than hear people sing about getting into someone's pants. But product has to move. Even our beloved small market bands have to have enough marketing muscle to pay the bills. They are artists, who speak about things that support us and make us think. But it didn't come free. So why grey poop'on all over the Christian music industry for selling what the majority want to buy? It's like the old joke about reprinting "footprints" on everything you can cause people will buy it. If you don't like it, don't buy it. I don't support everything that comes out, because I don't like a lot of the music out there - whether it's Christian or not. A non Christian boyband gets the same amount of airtime at my house as their Christian counterparts. None. This reminds me of those conversations I'd have with my old musician friends years ago about "selling" out. Anything that was commercial was evil, and atonal crap was the sound a true artist strived for. So here's to Petra, even without Louie. Here's to pretty boy MWS, who I like, and have listened to for years. Here's to a new Whiteheart album. It's music, and if you like it support it, and if you don't - vote with your wallet and let it rot on the shelf. If all artists would take Randy Stonehill's advice, they'd be in great shape, and so would we: "Be radio-smart without being radio-stupid." 05-21-2003 15:55 zippetydoodaddy Woolly Eggwhisk Registration Date: 01-29-2003 Posts: 610 Location: Lust is the craving for salt of a man who is dying of thirst. - F.B. quote: Originally posted by joey -yes, yes i do! see petra thinks the Tuxedo Clad Megastar is cool thread in the dump....

Amen, you hunka burning Christian love!!!!!!!!!! listen, guys and gals..........music is a personal thing. We all have likes and dislikes.........and if you don't care for what you hear on Christian radio, you have CHOICES - turn it off, contact your local stations and TELL them, listen and maybe hear some pretty good stuff! I'll agree that much of Christian music on the market now is pretty crappy - but there are gems out there, and if you don't LISTEN now and then, you'll never hear them. People like Sara Groves, Pam Thum, Fernando Ortega, Michael Card......they've got some pretty DAmb good tunage on the airwaves. It doesn't have to be an "us versus them" kind of thing - like what you like, and support what brings you to your knees.
