Im going to go ahead and weigh in on that whole lifehouse issue by saying that I dont think they are christian rock. this quote I found was interesting because I think it can be interpreted as have both secular and Christian attitudes.
"This record deals a lot with self-discovery and breaking out of whatever your parents or your boss or whoever thinks you should be. It's about trying to find out for yourself who you're supposed to be - your purpose, your destiny in the world."
the rejection of authority seems a little non-Christian, but then again that "finding your purpose and destiny" part suggests the album has a spiritual tone. The thing is, I looked over the lyrics, and while some songs certainly seem like they are about jesus, not every song is, and I dont know if you can be called Christian rock unless the majority of your songs are about christ.
of course, the lead singers parents are both ministers, and the band was originally called "blyss," so you do sort of have to wonder.
anyway, having shared my opinion on that, IM now going to go ahead and whine that I have to go back to st louis tomorrow: sigh, I have to go back to st Louis tomorrow. I dont want this week to be over. now I have to get back to work. bleh. oh well, dave has already been working for a week, while I have been relaxing and enjoying myself, so I guess if anyone should complain its him. no, wait, thats right, Dave is making obscene amounts of money this summer. IM complaining all I want.
