Mark VanS Goes to Green Day
Pastors need to go to more rock concerts. Period. We just seem to get inspired. Which is to say, you've got to read Mark VanS' thoughts after the Green Day concert.

I can't go to these type of things with out getting totally worked up. However, I agree with you that Christianity, or rather, the Church, has lost it 'edge', as in, we aren't edgy, we don't impact society, and we don't set the course of culture. Instead, we get caught up in the flow of where society is going, usually down, and try to 'redeem' it or do damage control.
When I say "edgy", I don't mean artificially hip, slick, and cool. I mean if we really believed what we preached, really lived it, that would be edgy.

Mark - I remember when Green Day was an underground band and would never sell out to a major label, guess they blew that one. Not that I blame them, but in their hometown (Berkley) they are widely made fun of. So, I love the fact that the sell-outs are the anti-establishment, when they are really just a creation of another establishment. Aren't we having lunch soon? Email me and we will set it up. JVD

Actually, they created their own label owned by Billie Joe and his wife.
