  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

In the cookie-cutter world of pop music, he certainly could be original. I remember the song "Fame" on the radio in the '70's. Then it sounded like a weird pop/funk song had stepped out of a time capsule from the future. I remember thinking " wow that sounds futuristic". I heard it a few months ago and I'll be darned if it doesn't still sound futuristic.

I am sad for him and his family that he died too young. I liked a lot of his stuff but I think he is quite a bit overrated. But it's sad for a person to die and sad for his loved ones, may God bring them comfort at this time.

He was a unique talent. His music was something I came to quite by accident, but I was always grateful.

In the blessed and cold
In the crutch-hungry dark
Was where we flayed our mark
Oh, and we were gone
Kings of Oblivion
We were so turned on
In the night walk pavilion

Lay me place and bake me pie I'm starving for me gravy
Leave my shoes, and door unlocked I might just slip away

Just for the day...
