.:.. not to sound antagonistic or reactionary, but i'm sorta thinking that the BUNCH of people you know that aren't going may be pretty narrow-minded themselves if they opt to not go because of unfounded rumour. i think most punk/indie rock kids prematurely assume that if a band has any christian associations or background, that it coincidentally implies their narrow-mindedness and/or homophobia. from what i know of david, he's always been extremely conscious of remaining open to new and different ideas, even within the religious dictum he adheres to. at very least, i am certain that he does not condescend others because of some trivial dissonance in lifestyle choice. supposedly there was this whole fiasco over Pedro playing with Cadallaca: Cadallaca realising they were a Christian band and canceling a number of shows together because of it. who, exactly, is being narrow-minded here? b (religion-ism and atheism are pretty much the same bag of flaming dog-crap, the way i see it) : * ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, November 23, 1999 10:57 AM Subject: Digest modestmouse.v001.n569 > > << pedro the lion is playing here soon and a BUNCH > > of people i know aren't going to the show because he's apparently > > homophobic and very narrow minded...what do ppl think about tha >> > > Well, if David Bazan is homophobic, then I think it's odd that he was on a > record label that was run by someone who is Gay.
