newworship blog : WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? - From GQ Magazine?

This is a good read. As a musician in the Christian world, I often have to give myself a dose of the Beatles or the Who...as a former youth leader I was inundated with hundreds of slick-packaged gimmicks to keep kids loving Jesus. As a movie lover, I stopped after the first Left Behind...thank God for Mel Gibson!

The music is the hardest thing for me...even Switchfoot gets a little thin. Few are the killer guitar solos, ok there's Lincoln, but the shear, raw energy of such demonic bands like old KISS, and the groove of That Little Ol' Band From Texas, are hard to find attatched to the Jesus message. Not all of it now, but after Time, Third Day was a KLOVE mainstay. Crowder is getting nutty these days and PLEASE take a listen to The Listening (formerly the Rock and Roll Worship Circus). Now there is some good rock and roll there.

OK, I'm done. Read the article. It misses here and there, probably for the sake of journalistic appeal, but the whole Ark culture thing is pretty close to the scene.
