So, I like country music, especially the more gospel-inspired old tymey music. But a major problem with liking this music (for me) is that it’s mainly about one guy. Jesus. And I am not Christian. But I am hard pressed to not sing along to fire and brimstone song about how the time is coming when the sinner must die. It’s kind of like white rich frat boys singing “Straight Out of Compton…”
I guess.
This is why it warmed my heart that the Two Man Gentlemen Band, who take the old tyme to heart, wish they had written a gospel song. A gospel song about how the flu epidemic is really God smiting you.
I am glad someone else is spreading the (false) word about medicine!
I am not a god fearing Christian either, but I would like to make a point on this as I’m also a fan of old country Music.
Sometimes I like to hear good old songs about god and how he help save our crops this year. It give music that authentic feeling and sets it in a time before people could see thought the religious lies and just had faith in the hope that god was looking down on them and their families.
I defiantly hate any music that preaches though.
