be nice.

Ok... Let's reign it in a bit. For SOME artists it's a "philosophy, a culture, a declaration that one believes". Some folks like the musical form of bluegrbutt. I know cause I'm one of them. I get a kick out of bluegrbutt instrumental numbers. Awesome stuff.

Gospel bands are at their best when they sing Gospel songs... that's kinda why they're know as gospel bands. To say that that is the ONLY time ANY band is at it's best is over the top.

Historicly, bluegrbutt themes have tended toward religion. But this is changing for the betterment of bluegrbutt as a music form. I'm not against nor taking a stance that the gospel stuff isn't good stuff. But it's not the total fan base of the music.

I couldn't disagree more. Perhaps I'm not a "real" bluegrbutt fan. Whatever that really means. And I think you'd be hard pressed to define that the "bluegrbutt culture" truly is. Unless you define a culture and then only accept bands which represent that as being "real" bluegrbutt".

Music is typically clbuttified by it's musical makeup rather than its lyrical content... except for specifically religous music... and those are still clbuttified somewhat based upon musical form.

Feel free to spit out the seeds... but by all means dig in.
