everyone can do what they can. You have to start somewhere. Being Gay is glorified too much these days
 
I used to listen to a lot of secular music . Nowadays Christian music is so positive and uplifting there is little ‘need’ to listen to secular music which glorifies sex, drugs, and all manner of hedonism

How fortunate we are to have you here to give us insight into the private motives of another human being. I look forward to further demonstrations of your astounding mind-reading skills in future.

My question was asked because of the possibility it will be tooooo graphic.

The simple answer is: “We don’t know.” Until reviews start coming out, we can only speculate as to how graphic any sex scenes might be (or if there are any sex scenes at all).

It seems likely that there’s not much to be concerned about on that front—again, given the departure of Sasha Baron Coen from the project due to “creative differences” which included differences of opinion on how much of that sort of thing to have in the movie. But still, that is just an educated guess.

If you are concerned about it, you’re simply going to have to wait until after the movie is released and you can read up on some parent’s guides that track those sorts of things.
 
In terms of rock biopics, I enjoyed the Ian Dury one. His life was relatively obscure here in the States although several of his songs were all over the radio for a few years.
 
I wish I liked it more. Unfortunately, most of it seems to lack any kind of bass end or creative melody.

Black Sabbath wrote way better Christian music than most Christian bands
 
I like playing it. Not really listening to it. Playing it is a whole other story

I like Christian music. It is a good way to worship and offer up praise to God.

I like what I guess would be labeled classic rock (Van Halen-I love me some Van Halen, Aerosmith, etc,) and Christian pop/rock. When I’m in the car alone, I listen to Christian pop/rock and when I’m with my husband, I listen to classic rock.
 
Is anything that pointed out wrong ? I don’t need to mind read to know he was a professional musician.

By the way you did the same thing assuming he was generous

His hit songs in USA were considered “silly” songs and were considered a palatable form of punk/ new wave that could be played on established rock radio, because their fan base would basically just laugh at lyrics like “hit me with your rhythm stick”. I thought of him in those days as a novelty act. I was happy to learn there was a lot more to the man. He left the earth too soon.

Nope. But Christian music is really cheesy. Like most of it is trying too hard to sound like something else instead authentically itself
 
Can you and Londoner maybe explain to me why this social justice stuff seems to be so important for musicians in UK?

I’m trying to think of something similar for USA and all I’m coming up with, besides Live Aid which originated in UK, is Farm Aid (which didn’t do much to stop the foreclosure of small farms because small farming is becoming a casualty of economics of scale and in some parts of the country, depleted aquifers) and the No Nukes movement (which is like ancient history).
 
Same here. My wife and daughter both like it, though, which is fine. But my wife is more of a “listen to pop music on the radio” kind of person. To me, the CCM music on the radio is indistinguishable to what plays on the secular Top 40 type of radio stations. So if that’s your thing, then listening to the Christian alternative is a good way to go just for the less objectionable lyrics.

CCM is not my thing, but there some Christian bands I like a lot. Theocracy, Leah, Saviour Machine. Of course, I do like Stryper, too. 😝
