I think everyone should join me in wishing Kathy a very happy day.
Um... for no particular reason.

Thank you!
And I hope all of you have a happy day too!
We don't mention that little incident around here anymore. The memories are too painful for little Jasper.

You know, it IS possible to like country AND rock.
I've tried it. It's worked out quite well.

George and Reba aren't country. They're 'The Nashville Sound,' but they're not country. That music's not worth the space between the little strands of wool in the felt they used to make Willie Nelson's hat.

Everclear with a dash of Guns and Roses & Grendine for color?
I'll just come out and say it though, you can like country and rock, but not like them both and go to heaven. God told me that personally. it's one of his little "easter eggs" in reality.

Music snobs make me snicker.
I "do" electronic-dance music, but I spent the weekend at "Rockfest," a 3-day (don't laugh) Christian hard-core festival. No, it's not what I"d pop in the CD player here at the house or anything, but heck, it can't hurt me. Those people are just as sincere about their music as anyone else.
And this whole "Garth Brooks ain't country" thing is silly, too. Willie listens to it, so what the heck. Who cares what it's NAME is... it's just music.
No type of music is better than another, any more than blone hair is better than brown, or blue eyes better than green. They're just different. I've had a lot more fun since I've learned to try to appreciate different types of music, instead of dissin' em.
Did you know that bluegrass and techno have a LOT in common, musically/technically?

Actually sooz, My kind of music _is_ better than theirs', green eyes are better than blue ones, and brown hair is better than blonde.
I looked up the answers, cheating is better than going through life without knowing.

Isn't christian-rock an oxy-moron of the purest form?
I do suppose people can like Country & Western, but I can't help but ask why?

Christian rock is okay; what REALLY amuses me is Christian heavy metal: whips, chains, and sluts for jeeZus!

Technically, a type of music is defined by that - the MUSIC. If the people doing it put words like "The blood of Jesus" to it instead of "The blood of my cat", that makes it Christian music. See?
Kinda like if a pagan put groovy lyrics about Tarot cards to a country song, because that's the style of music they prefer. That would make it "Pagan country." See?

Genres can mix and mingle quite effectively, if you know where to look. The most exciting music fer me, oftentimes, is the stuff that's hardest to pidgeonhole.
For example, Johnny Cash's last couple of CDs have been produced by Rick Rubin (who brought us the Beastie Boys, Run-DMC and The Cult), and he does an amazing cover of a Soundgarden song. It's traditional Johnny Cash, with a fresh production influence.
Soul Coughing: seemingly stream-of-conscience, beat-poet word jazz, samples of the Andrews Sisters and old Warner Bros. cartoons, over a bass-heavy groove.
The Waterboys started out as a fairly straightforward, low-grade U2 wannabe, and evolved into a strange hybrid of traditional Irish folk and 60s psychedelica.
Sublime mixed punk, ska, reggae, hip hop, maybe a pinch of jazz.
There's a whole borgasborg of genre-bending stuff out there!

'Nuther thought: "Christian" music is about the only form I can think of where the label defines the subject matter, as opposed to the style.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, that was a song about God. Now we'd like to do ANOTHER song about God...."
Not that there's anything wrong with that... :)
I suppose "Gangsta" would be another similar form.
Gangsta Christian Metal?

Atheists get the overtly-Objectivist power-trio Rush. No agnostics allowed here... 'If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.'
I recently heard traditional pacific northwest native healing songs set to rock. Imagine Jimi Hendrix singing, 'Oh cedar tree/Clap your hands and heal me/Hey-ya-hey... Hey-ya-hey... Hey-ya-hey-ya-hey-ya-hey..' and you begin to get an idea.

I wish the label "Christian" would just freakin' disappear. Our web page doesn't describe us as "Christian". We "sing songs of hope and love, propelled by a throbbing techno beat." I like the word "throbbing", but that's a different topic entirely.
I'd love for there to be Jewish rock, Buddhist techno, etc., but there just ain't, at least that I know of.
Anyway, this is all why we prefer "regular" clubs to play at, rather than "Christian" venues.

There's a whole tradition of hippie songs...
Hippie-ism, is, in fact, almost its own religion in the 90s.

Just a note: there has been paganish-rock, the Highwaymen.
Willie Nelson, Waylan Jennings, (I think) Kenny Rogers and John Cash... Their selfnamed track was about reincarnation, the also did songs that sounded remarkably filkish... Stuff about mental wards and whatnot...
It was pretty damn neat stuff...

Jewish Rock...actually Kliezmer Rock.....look for one of the two Firewater cds...the first is "Get off the Cross we need the wood" and I forgot what the latest is...but the lead singer is from Cop Shoot Cop and its sorta a weird Kleizmer meets Tom Waits singing sea chantees to a nice rock driving beat...
