| | Before High School I was all about Punk.
The musical genre.
I got out of it, thanks, in large part to Anberlin.
At one point in time, Freshman year at Wooster, I got back into it. That lasted for about a week.
Every once in awhile one of my old songs will come up on WMP, because I generally just shuffle everything. I usually skip it, and wonder if I'll ever actually intentionally listen to punk again.
Then Rise Against caught my ear again today....and I'm intentionally listening to punk again.
I guess we never know ourselves all that well.
I used to wonder if Rise Against was a Christian band when I first heard "Like the Angel" on Tony Hawk's undergound....I found out they weren't. I've thought that about a lot of bands and been wrong.
At least in the case of Rise Against, it's because you can hear the longing for the Kingdom in their lyrics...and they just don't know it.
I thought the same about the Flobots too....turns out they aren't "christian" in the traditional sense for a band, but realize that Christ is the only way to change the world.....God is everywhere and everyone longs for him....but not everyone acknowledges that, and that is pride. Oh, the things can realize with God-installed Gospel-goggles.
