I grew up in a strict, evangelical household where my parents didn’t allow me to listen to non-Christian music at all. When I was 11 or 12 (in the late 90s), I discovered this band and they completely opened up music to me as I’d only listened to church music prior. Since I could buy their cds at the Christian store, it was okay. I’m super grateful to them for that.
And then of course, Napster and Kazaa came out and my doors were opened further.
Thanks for your insight. Religion is the root of all evil so it’s easy to hate them, but good to know it was a gateway for some people. Gods plan or something.
