Atheist Douches Object to Gospel Music at MLK Celebration
|
Sucks, I say. Sucks. Piss-poor subject matter!
Yep, that's overboard.
But something tells me there was more than just gospel music.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
@OP
Yeah, that seems like a pretty big waste of valuable time.

Washington Philips and his heavily modified frankenzither that he may or may not have called a Manzarene: Blind Willie Johnson: Blind Gary Davis: Your argument is invalid. Really, by the standards of Christian worship music, Gospel music is actually pretty listenable. I could actually put some other artists here, like Mahalia Jackson or the Blind Boys of Alabama or Aretha Franklin's forays into Gospel Music, or other artists like Sixpence none the Richer (a CCM group which wound up making it big with some vaguely sapphic music) and Nick Cave (who, at least in his heyday, was a devout Christian who just happened to sing some brutal songs), or Johnny Cash's or Elvis' requisite gospel tracks or The Pixies, who aren't really religious, but are obsessed with the more fucked up stuff in the Old Testament, but we have a 3-video per post limit.

You can sing a song about dog shit but it remains dog shit.
So, I guess it is now OK to feature religion in the public schools as long as it is about MLK? These events set legal precedents if left unchallenged.

It remains a good song. Aretha Franklin's "Climbing Higher Mountains" is one of my favorite tunes ever. Everything that woman touches becomes gold. Plus that, to me, the song merely uses religious symbolism to talk about real-life things. In this case, difficulties and tribulations--something everybody has, regardless of their religion. A lyrical song is just a poem put to music. Any one poem can be interpreted in a number of ways. If you pass up rocking to gospel music because you're an atheist, you're missing out.
