Spy in the house of the Lord
A while back, I blogged about how I've come to really enjoy Christian music, despite being a Jew.
I've always found those late-night infommercials fascinating. You know the ones, where they're hawking CDs by various Christian artists while showing these clips from concerts where everyone in the audience is all devoted, crying and praising toward the heavens.
The music is great, but I've always wondered if those people are truly THAT into God and Jesus and THAT moved by the music that they respond that way, or if it simply staged for the camera.
Sunday evening I will have my answer.
Partially to answer the above question, partially to enjoy some good tunes, but mostly for shits and giggles, my brother and I decided today that we will be heading to the Continental Airlines Arena for a Christian rock show.
Interestingly, the radio station that is "presenting" this show is Star 99.1 FM. An all-Christian music station I sometimes listen to. Today, while perusing their Web site for more info on the show, I found out something quite interesting. The station that broadcasts Star99.1 FM, locally, is in Zarapeth, NJ: Home of Bob Sanislo and Somerset Christain Academy (formerly Alma Prep), one of the schools in Courier News' coverage area.
I found that amusing.
Anyway, expect a full report on the show.

Please don't let your mother know about this...
...and make sure you hide that Creed and P.O.D. CD.

If my sister still worked over at Star 99.1, I could arrange a tour for you! But she quit back in August.
