[QUOTE="keith99, post: 70204757, member: 211648"] Same for me if one includes presenting the message well. I'm not going to like a song that butchers a good message. It seems to me that this is NOT the approach of many in the pulpit. They fail to see the message of the song at all and sometimes seem to only be looking for something to hate. [I]Suicide Solution[/I] is a pretty good example. They see the title and that is enough. It must be bad. Never mind that the title refers to hard booze as a chemical solution and the song was written because a close friend was drinking himself to death. Oops an anti booze song condemned because it was never listened to. I've heard [I]Stairway to Heaven[/I]. Blasted because the preacher took the second line out of context and decided the song said you could buy the stairway to Heaven. As if the opening line 'There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold' isn't enough to make the listener aware that everything this lady thinks is garbage. Or am I older than I thought and no one under 60 has heard the saying 'not all that glitters is gold'? Still one cannot escape the echoes of that old saying. At least not those who read at all. 'All that is gold does not glitter, not all who wander are lost.' is still rather well known. [/QUOTE]
