Search My Shit:
2/28/2009
For Born Again Journey Fans Only
I know, I'm on a youtube kick this week. I've been so busy at work that I haven't had time to take any pictures or do anything interesting but watch King of the Hill. I have, however, had time to watch youtube videos of christian arena rock titans Petra.
See... as a kid, especially as a metal kid, we ripped on PETRA endlessly. In retrospect, while they deserve a ton of shit for supporting a Constitutional amendment supporting prayer in schools, their music isn't actually that bad. Sure, they love jesus and that's inexcusable, but they're not totally horrible. They deserve to be included in any conversation regarding late 80's arena rock. This single, from 1988's "On Fire!", is simply a pastiche of Foreigner circa '84, but a well executed pastiche. Given that Christian Rock (like Canadian Rock) is normally five years out of date, that makes it pretty cutting edge. Listen to it, but try to ignore the themes of holy war.
another bad PETRA video
Ya'll Motherfuckers Said What?:
My cousin was a DeeJay for a christian radio station in OKC and every xmas I he would give Sam and me left over promotional materials, usually in the form of CD. I had a couple Petra albums. I also a packet of Power Team sales material. However nothing beats the W's CD you gave me when we first met because you are the devil and the devil is bad.
