My opinion is not against rock, reggae or anything else. It's specific to an orthodox Jew using religious music of another religion.
Shlock Rock (Lenny's band) has been doing Jewish rock for 20+ years and I see no problem with that. It's a music art that is not brought from any religious or specific cultural location so making use of it is no problem. Think of it as Donald Trump singing real blues music. Just doesn't work. :) The issue with Christian bands was never about rock but about metal as in the case of stripper (not slayer if I remember right). At the time, metal had all the satanic symbols which was a major issue. Of course the life of a rock star.... >I had a feeling that might be your opinion. :) I know that alot of > apparently paradoxical Christian bands have been around for some time > (ie: Slayer), but hadn't ever seen a Jewish rock or Reggae group till > Matisyahu... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:175515 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
