Newsweek has an amusing article about the Rise of Christian Pop Music. Apparently, Christian pop music is the hottest genre in the music industry now. It had $747 million in record sales last year. They even have their own Lollapalooza-like concert tour, Festival Con Dios (Festival With God, in Spanish).

\”The kids have the option to visit the prayer area if they’re not moshing to Skillet’s acerbic din, or rocking to the Beastie Boyish raps of Earthsuit. Or they can all bow their heads together at the main stage, where bands and speakers break into prayer at any given hour.\”

Damn, I need to listen to something Satanic after reading that article.

…Which reminds me of one of my favorite Simpsons quotes: \”All the best bands are affiliated with Satan.\”
