DC Talk is of the devil!!! + Jimi Hendrix was a drug-crazed New Age occultist + a crucified monkey

You know, Jesus-is-savior.com is actually quite interesting. You should check it out.
No really. It's shocking, self-righteous, and it looks like someone went crazy with the exclamation points. Yeah, you know what kind of site I'm referring to. It's freakin' crazy.

ANYWAY, I didn't begin this post to tell my readers solely about this site. I intended to bring to attention a particular set of accusations against the group DC Talk, based upon biblical principles and truths. Or at least, that is what the author of this article states.

The article is entitled, DC Talk Exposed, and begins by introducing the "Jesus Freak" music video as one of the most popular Christians videos ever recorded. But, how "Christian" is it? (asks the following line) The author then goes into not-so-great depth to gorge this subject.

From here, we are told the director of the video is none other than Simon Maxwell, an Englishman and collaborator with the "satanic and blasphemous Nine Inch Nails." We learn that DC Talk was interested in roping him in for this project, due to his particular style, demonstrated specifically in NIN's "Closer." [side note: pay attention to anything with 3 or more exclamation marks (!!!), brackets, or anything that is CAPITALIZED]

And I quote,

The author refers to "Closer" as "ultra-blasphemous," pointing out the fact that the video shows a monkey crucified on a cross. It then goes on to quote Mr. Reznor himself,

"If you think I WORSHIP SATAN because of something you see in the 'Closer' video [with its images of a crucified monkey]- great!"
(Trent Reznor, People, Feb. 6, 1995)

ANNDDD for the conclusion: Because Trent Reznor talks about wicked, satanic blasphemy + DC Talk proudly admitting to watching Nine Inch Nails videos + liking those videos and hiring Simon Maxwell to direct their video = GOING TO HELL.

"And believe me there's NOTHING Christian about the video!"

End quote.

I want a lot of dialogue on this one. Share your thoughts. Let me know what you think about this article. Go crazy.

Is DC Talk a Boy Band? I think so.

What exactly can we classify or genre-fy, in the most culturally specific of terms, DC Talk to be? Are they a Christian rock band? Boy band? Some kind of R'nB?

In an interview with Alarnet TV, a no longer aired Christian music entertainment talk show, Kevin Max is asked if he was in "some sort of boy band, back in the day." He responds with a simple yes, and gives a brief explanation:

"I've always been into rock 'n roll, but the other two guys were in such reverse musical patterns at that time, that I think we came out as this, this thing that nobody could really put their finger on, and go, is it Pop? Is it AC? Is it a boy band? Is it R'nB? Is it Hammer? You know, they couldn't figure it out."

First, let's ask ourselves what constitutes a band as a boy band.

1) Limited creativity and overall input in direction of music.
2) When said band members don't play any instruments.

According to Allmusic.com, the three members of DC Talk were not comfortable playing instruments on their recordings. Instead, they decided to contribute only vocals to their albums.

Because of this, I am skeptical as to the level of which each member contributed musically and creatively, to the creation and production of each piece of music. Is DC Talk just a moniker for *Boy Band?

I suppose it's a viable conclusion to come to, if such a conclusion can actually be made. After all, I don't know any of the members personally, and aside from pieces of data here and there, the question remains unanswered. However, this I know: I will never listen to DC Talk again. I MEAN, the same again.
