Day 12 - A song from a band you hate
This is hard, okay. Because first I had to think of a band that I hated, and that's not something I can just go look in my iTunes for because... well, I don't have any bands that I hate in my iTunes. So I settled on Casting Crowns.
Truthfully, I don't really hate them, per se. And I generally like religious music, even if there are probably about ten songs that everyone seems to record over and over. When I first heard of them, I had a few songs of theirs that I was giving a try, and one of them was What If His People Prayed. I got to this verse:
And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day
And I had to go WAIT. WAIT. STOP. It just totally rubs me the wrong way and leaves a nasty taste in my mouth. It's more politics than I like in my spiritual music. Other bands -- Switchfoot, Paul Coleman Trio (no longer a band, but still one of my favorites), Relient K, Sanctus Real -- are not so intent on imposing politics. Which is their right, they can write and sing whatever they want to. It is also my right to not listen to them, go to their concerts, and buy their merchandise.
