Jul 26, 2008 - The hendrix story is just that - a story. There is no evidence that supports any claims that hendrix ever said anything like that

Jul 26, 2008 - I can't find any words for this. Sometimes when I see a musician like this I feel they have come here from a different planet. I think in life these kind of thing are the most beautyful. If there wasnt any music, it wasnt worth for livig.regardsPeter, from Hungary

Jul 26, 2008 - without a doubt some of the finest guitar work on earth... i just think its a shame that he has to be labeled "Christian Rock". when i go see a musician i dont want the baggage of organized religion and evangelists capitalizing... but i absolutely Love the music as long as nobody is handing me a church brochure or telling my loved ones they will burn in hell if they dont this or that...

Jul 26, 2008 - HELL YES!!!

Jul 26, 2008 - Hi:I just saw your entry. I agree that labeling it as Christian Rock may be inappropriate. I disagree with your premise that evangelists capitalize on Christian Rock. Some may. However, Christians do a LOT of good in this world! Are you saying you would rather give your money to a rock act that spends on wild living and drugs?Please let me know.

Jul 26, 2008 - He actually doesn't mind that his music is Christian music, he just hates the business attached to it. In an interview he was talking about pre-CCM music and how he enjoyed playing Christian music before it became a business. "I have strong feelings pro Christian music and then I have my misgivings about the business of it all. When he was asked why people don't put him in Christian radio anymore, he said, "Well, I think by-and-large Christian radio is just playing young artists nowadays.
iwebber88 Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - Yeah... he played at cornerstone before they brought in non-Christian bands (In the days of Bride, Larry Norman, etc). Anyways, hope that clears things up. And no, I don't listen to his music because it's Christian/he's Christian/blah blah blah. I don't care - He's just an awesome guitarist.
bruhe Says:
Jul 26, 2008 - My experience with folks suggests that they are more afraid of those kind of reactions from Christians than ever having actually experienced them. Would that be the case with you? has anyone really talked to you like that? I mean i know there are pushy Christians out there - we're all just people with our own flaws anyway - but I think you'd be able to go to a Keaggy concert without much issue. There's nothing wrong with asking to be left alone too! I'd hope people would be respectful to you!
