A Good Day For Music.

Just jumping on to send out three quick cheers for a landmark day for American music. Yesterday (hopefully) heralded the coming deaths of two truly dreadful bands, Korn and Blink-182.

First off, Blink-182... Yup, they are a number band. Just in case you didn't know, ALL bands that have numbers in their name are automatically lame. Yes, even that band that you like. Please note that this is only a hard and fast rule when you use the actual digits, but spelling out the numbers is cause for concern too. Anyway, a spokesperson for Blink-182 released a statement yesterday saying that the band was going on an "indefinite hiatus" ...wink, wink, nudge, nudge... Bliss!

Next comes the beginning of the end for Korn...and under the most amusing circumstances. One of their guitarists has quit the band because he found Jesus.

Pardon me for just one moment: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Oh man, that is so good. Just think about that for a minute and let it sink in fully. Wow... You know, that guy must be onto something though. There obviously must be a glorious, loving, caring God watching over us if both Korn and Blink-182 can come undone on the same day.

Now there is is only one bullet left to dodge hopefully, Creed Syndrome. When Creed split up, the world rejoiced at the thought of a lifetime without any new Creed singles on the airwaves. However, the celebration was premature. Creed, upon destruction, split into two ENTIRELY NEW Creeds, one ruled by Scott Stapp and one by Mark Tremonti, to torment music lovers with twice as many shitty Christian-pop-alt-"metal" hits as before. Like a hydra, if you kill one head on the beast that is bad music, two more grow back in its place.

So, we may now be confronted with twice as much derivative, disposable pop-punk, and (please, say it aint so) another pro-Jesus version of Korn to go along with the already lame enough, nu-metal, pro-porno/strip club version we already have. Then what can we do about it?

It's a start...God bless us all.

Creed was one of the best bands ever. Their lyrics are powerful and mean a lot to many people. Scott Stapp may have made some mistakes, but he is as human as all of us. Alter Bridge is one of the best bands out there now. I bet you can't name a new guitarist better then Mark Tremonti. There is nothing wrong with Christian music. In fact, Christ is the most important topic ever.
