To: Tell It Right

I tried it in it’s early days and told it I like Petra, Mylon, Barren Cross, and Whitecross.

Good choices! We go back to the even earlier days of Jesus Music when we were born-from-above in 1973 and were thankful for the small circle of music available...

All Saved Freak Band
Larry Norman
Randy Stonehill
Paul Clark
Honeytree
Love Song

Wore the grooves of those albums completely out!

FTA
music is “a powerful medium that reflects and shapes our moral sensibilities”
I agree with that to a degree. Also, the adolescent brain is possibly susceptible to many subliminal forces.
And then there is the “where do you spend your time” aspect. It is no wonder that lyrics going around in one’s head would influence behavior.

Probably yes., as compared to David of Israel (Psalm 19:7-11 The Law, the Statutes, the Fear of he Lord), Bernard of Clairvaux (O Sacred Head, Now Wounded), Johann Bach (Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring), Isaac Watts (Alas, and Did My Savior Bleed), or P. P. Bliss (Brightly Beams Our Father’s Mercy); Just very broadly skimming the ever-nourishimg eons of music agreeable to the holy person’s ear and soul.

And in the 1940s, "White Christmas" from the Broadway hit "Holiday Inn"; a song that my school classes sang in the years of the Second World War, while we had personally known local service members fighting to their wounds and death in the Southern Pacific, with our little hearts grieving for them.

The song written by the great tunesmith Irving Berlin, released on July 30, 1942 just before the Marines landed on Guadalcanal to stop and reverse the Japanese advance. My enrollment in the first grade of our country school had begun. Songs sung and prayers were offered at the beginning of every school day,led by our teacher.

There was no piano. Everyone learned to sing accurately, on tune, no preachers or denominational demarcations present at all. All hearts were together in unity, begun with the Salute, arms raised, to our beloved Flag of the United States of America.

Our nation is now at the decision point because no one born after the conclusion of that conflagration can even begin to understand what happened then, with the whole populace united behind our united effort to overcome the Satanic forces behind the Axis tyrants (and yes, the Stalinist Communists as well).

And those were the years that I first recognized how much I loved our girls, with Ramona Strickland of my class leading them all, actually dreaming of her! That was my kind of America.

As for Michael Bolton, I’m proud to say I own his entire set of works.

The reason is that their musical creations were/are timeless, of another spiritual dimension of which eternity is the dominant factor.

Brought up on Glenn Miller and Johnny Cash. Pianist and Cellist in grade and high school. Got into Yello and the Monkies. Hated the Beatles. Love bass and tenor singers. Some of the eighties music was ok. Listen to Jazz and Tiesto now. Classical now and then.

Why did you bother to post this? How does it relate to the topic? You might consider some explanation next time. Otherwise, a lot of us are in the dark.

“How does it relate to the topic? “

Have you seen the movie when these guys were discussing Michael Bolton? It relates to the topic.

And I completely ignore the semantics of vocals since I can’t understand most of them and don’t care what they say anyway. Whereas, to my gf, lyrics are the “main thing”.

You must have heard the name “Cardi B” as I have (only one).

No, some of us do not spend a lot of time watching movies.

So, what does “discussing Michael Bolton” have to do with the topic at hand?

Context is your friend.

You consider “Yeah” to be an explanation?

Cardi B. Nope. Never heard of her/him.

The character of the Two Bobs relates to Bolton’s music. But you don’t really want to know. You just want to be pissy.
