| Originally posted by freak one of the guys on the 77's list transcribed it... The 77's quote happens in the 1st 5 minutes of the program. Have not listened to the rest. Here is a rough transcription of what was said: The transfomationalists see themselves as artists, Neil. And they take their cues from the first chapter of the first book of the Bible, Genesis Chapter 1, where it says men and women were created in the image of God. Well, what's God doing in Genesis Chapter 1? He's creating the world. So, in the view of these transformational artists simply being creative, the act of being creative itself is something that is inherently Christian or inherently divine. So rather than needing to use your music in a utilitarian sort of fashion to convert people, like separational ministers tend to do, the transformational artists say simply being creative is in itself a Christian activity. Now as a result, their music tends to be brutally honest. Things aren't usually wrapped up by the end of the 3rd verse with a nice happy ending where I became a Christian and everything is great now; which sometimes tends to happen with the separational ministers. That they can talk about hard times but by the 3rd verse, everything's happy again. Well, with the transfomrational artists, they might end on a down note. As a matter of fact, one band, the 77's for example, did an entire album that focused on the divorce of the lead singer/songwriter. There was a brutally honest CD called DWLIS, which is probably the first Christian CD ever to focus on the theme of divorce. |

| Orginally Posted by Doctor Love on the list-serv regarding the NPR show That was a dark year, to be sure, but in no way was the whole thing about my divorce....at least not consciously. As a matter of fact, the only one that was intentionally written about that was "Alone Together", and even that one was also about my then current girlfriend, which is shameful to me to admit. What's amazing about that song is that the divorce half of the song had already happened that way, but the girlfriend part hadn't yet. I could see it all coming around the corner though, and by the time we were mixing that album it all came true just like I wrote about. I hope to never live another year like 1993. |
