10-14-08 Johnny Nash – I Can See Clearly Now
Posted by gavortnik on October 14, 2008
You’ve got a point there, Shanoah. It makes me wonder why there aren’t more Christian metal bands. I mean, look at all that metal has going for it:
- Devils.
- Ancient prophecies.
- Sinners being dragged off to hell.
- Apocalyptic wars that lead to the complete annihilation of mankind (very popular in Christianity nowadays).
So if you’re into that brand of Christianity – the brand where you actually want a nuclear exchange in the Persian Gulf so you can get raptured up to heaven and give the finger to all those smarty-pant Darwinists and atheists and humanists and Ay Rabs on a swiftly tilting and burning planet – then yeah, you definitely want to listen to more Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth. It’ll do (pregnant pause) interesting things to your mind.
But that’s not my brand of Christianity. My brand of Christianity, aside from not having church on Sundays, is probably best expressed by Johnny Nash’s wonderful I Can See Clearly Now, off Nash’s 1972 album of the same name.
