What passes for "music" these days

[kellinator]

Only a band as truly insipid as P.O.D. could do a song about a school shooting and conclude: "Maybe this kid just wanted to be hugged."

I am from SD, where POD is from and I can tell you they SUCK live! It was not just SNL. Insipid yes, profound...the idea is quite profound but not necessarily original to POD.

I am also a christian girl, I guess that means they are supposed to be my bro's, but I just don't get them or christian music. The subject of christian music seems so focused that I wonder how people keep coming up with lyrics.

I am so with you, Kellie. It seems to me that when something is so focused on imparting a lesson -- be it "I love Jesus" or "drugs are bad" or "eat your veggies" -- that it usually ignores the creative elements and utterly fails as art.

And I'm a Christian, too. I always feel mildly guilty for not liking Christian music -- but almost all that I've heard really does suck! Creed, anybody? :P
