I like The Who, Matt Maher, Boston, all sorts of stuff… Actually I went to a Who concert in Chicago on the 25 of Sept. it was great. A song on they’re new CD kinda bothers me though…it’s called “The Man in a Purple Dress” …It was performed on Letterman. The lyrics will show you what my deal is with it…tell me what you guys think…

"How dare you wear robes and reside
How dare you cover your head to hide
Your face from God

How dare you smile behind your beard
To hide the fact that your hearts are feared
You wave a rod

How dare you be the one to assess
Me in this godforsaken mess
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress

You are all the same
Gilded and absurd
Regal, fast to blame
Rulers by last word
Men above men
oppress with your high hats

You priest, you mullah so high
You pope, you wise rabbi
You’re invisible to me
Like vapor from the sea

How dare did you think I’ll go quietly go
You are much braver than you know
For I can’t die

Your staff, your stick and your special cap
They’ll protect in hell
Oh yeah, what ****!
Believe the lie

How dare you be the one to assess
Me in this godforsaken mess
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress

When you place your frown
Between my God and craft
However grand your crown
Or dignified your hair
Men above men
oppress with your high hats

You priest, you mullah so high
You pope, you wise rabbi
You’re invisible to me
Like vapor from the sea

I lovingly mock you lawlords
We all dress up to grand awards
I do that as well

I dare condemn your fashion sense
At least you’re not astride the fence
That wouldn’t sell

But I will deliver this address
Your souls conditioned don’t impress
You, a man in a purple dress
A man in a purple dress"

The lyrics bother me personally being a Catholic.
 
I have gotton rid many of the secular music, Boston, Door,Zeplin, AD/DC, Rush, REO, many other, sure, it’s music I grew up on, but
does it help to grow closer in Holiness, to grow closer to God, for me, it reminded me of the party years.

I do enjoy more religious sounds these days.
