I've got varied musical tastes. I can listen to death metal, Acoustic rock, Pink Floyd, and Elvis in one sitting. I also like some rap. I like music! I like listening to the chord changes and the tonality and the lyrics. Mostly, I like this because I tend to judge the quality of the music in my head.
I don't really like Christian rock. I may if I were Christian, but that's not all of it. I don't understand why a songwriter with some talent would decide, "There is only one thing worth writing about, and I refuse to write about anything else." It seems like a waste to focus all your talent on writing about one thing when life,emotion, and the human condition are so complex. To throw out such compelling concepts as blind rage, revenge, and bitter pain is to eliminate reality from your music.
I do like the Chistian band Jars of Clay. Their music is very good, the guy's voice is fantastic, and they write about more than just religion.
Hissy, it sounds like your husband is a very important guy! Imagine how many lives that mine-sweeper device has saved.
