>>Uh, why are the roots bad? Read the lyrics. Read the statements concerning the devil of the musicians.<<
The lyrics are what matter. All men have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. This includes not only musicians, but architects, car mechanics, preachers, burger flippers, you name it. So where I look for things to abstain from is in their product. It is one reason I don’t like AC/DC, but can enjoy the music of other bands in the same genre. What matters - ALL that matters - to me is the content of the lyrics. And I know nothing of the past of many of these musicians just as I know nothing of the religious beliefs of the guy making my nachos at the Mexican restaurant.
The music will make you ignore lyrics, however. A beautiful melody like Stairway to Heaven or Bohemian Rhapsody hides some sinister lyrics. Imagine is another one. Sorry, both play a role.
