Lazarus would be proud. Seminal 80's christian Hair Metal band Stryper are still around. And they're touring! And it's the original line up! And they're playing Boston tonight! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to find some modest-yet-rebellious clothing to wear and get to the show.

The black and yellow theme not only compliments the band's colors, it goes well with a site that's still under construction. Either someone doesn't "Remember When" or the developer just couldn't take it any more.

"Christian Hair Metal Band" - Are you sure that post didn't come straight out of GeneFilter?

Its fundy propaganda camouflaged and aimed at impressionable youth. What a boring cynical and unoriginal strategy.
And that color scheme! I'll take poison green, anyday, over this.

In a weird reversal, Boston-based Guster played in Eugene, Oregon, last weekend. I went to see them. But, like this post, it's not worth a FPP. :-(

I do not agree with Jamie. Nor Stryper. Gimme some good old time gospel instead. Strictly for the music.

"I like your pants around your feet
And I like the dirt that's on your knees
And I like the way you still say please
While your looking up at me
You're like my favourite damn disease

I like the freckles on your chest
And I like the way you like me best
And I like the way you're not impressed
While you put me to the test
I like the white stains on your dress

And I love the way you pass the cheque
And I love the good times that you wreck
And I love your lack of self-respect
While you passed out on the deck
I love my hands around your neck"

yep. i'd say you've pegged it. :-)

I used to know a girl named Letty, who was once a dope & booze addled heavy metal party girl, who then found Jesus.

After listening to tell me about this, I asked, "So what do you listen to now, Stryper?"

Her answer, "Jon, I found God, I didn't lose my taste."

Nor her wit, evidently. That's hilarious, jonmc.
