I contemplated all week on whether I would comment on an email I received after one of my NQC recaps last week. My Wednesday night recap listed the Rambos as having one of the best sets of the evening. The next day I had an email telling me that I shouldn’t be spotlighting such a group and said individual attempted to lay out all the reasons why. The thing is, I was already aware of all the particulars of the situation. This individual wasn’t providing any new insight.
The only thing I kept thinking after reading this email was; Why cant the music speak for itself? Are Christians (or so-called) really that caught up in the personal lives of the artists that they need to know every sordid detail of their lives.
This was not the first time I received such an email. I had another instance several months ago by highlighting a certain artist in one of my classic video features.
Folks, this is a MUSIC blog that happens to focus on a style known as Southern Gospel. I will feature ANY artist that made some impact on this industry with their music.
I will present the music and let the music speak for itself.
