A review:

Religious Spirit
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2010
We need to discern between a religious spirit's work in people, apart from that of the Holy Spirit. This book is based on a religious spirit which seeks to add to what the Bible would say is wrong, and try to make everyone uniform into what an individual thinks is right with God. No music in and of itself is evil because God created music, but satan does pervert some music. Also, let me say I believe very much in righteous living as the Bible says

1John 3:4. Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5. And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6. No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7. Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8. the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother. 11. For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

I am glad that Jimmy Swaggert is still serving the Lord and fulfilling what God called him to do. Very few have been used so powerfully by God as he has. Many people will be in heaven because of his ministry. As a matter of fact, Stryper got saved through his ministry. I don't mean this review to disrespect Jimmy Swaggert in any way at all. He has done great things for God and has a strong anointing. I simply feel we need to not judge by externals, and actually the rift that was caused by the religious community against Christian rock caused a division in the Christ's kingdom that is still there to this day. There actually needs to be a healing there. Those that continually bash Jimmy Swaggert because of his past failures are in sin and of a religious spirit as well.

But also, I want to make a point here. If there was someone called to be a missionary to an Arab country, they would wear the long beard, turban, and robes to get into that culture and have a voice, but they would preach the message of Christ and bring many to him. There is nothing sinful about having a long beard, turban, or robe on. I believe many of these in Christian rock circles are trying to be a missionary to get into a culture to bring them to Christ. There are some that are off base in Christian rock, rap, or worship, but there are those off base in every realm of Christianity. I think books like this are throwing out the baby with the bath water and based on a religious spirit. That is just my opinion. Hopefully this review helped someone.

Looking for Stryper and finding St. Vitus in the same bin... how many times has this happened

Nesmith's last contractual Monkees commitment was a commercial for Kool-Aid and Nerf balls in April 1970

She chooses to experiment with upbeat, unconventional sounds to produce unique songs that connect to her personal life experiences.[24] She gains her inspiration and love for music from various artists such as Still Woozy, SZA, and John Mayer.[26]

The hard candy metaphor suggests that life can simultaneously be hard and sweet.

CITATION NEEDED

The phrase "fine and dandy" suggests that the singer will become an idle young man with a striking personal appearance & a quasi-religious devotion to fashion

^this

Oh wait, I thought that was about "Sweet and Dandy."

George Sanders

Sanders had grown increasingly reclusive and depressed due to a string of tragedies including the deaths of his third wife, his mother, and his brother Tom in the space of a year, followed by a failed sausage investment, which cost him millions...

I have definitely posted that before!

Gotta be a "sausage king of Chicago" joke in there

Europeans OTM.

really taxed my brain

xp Deserves to be on the Real England thread.

There was also a limited edition "Slime Pack" planned, which was never released after several packs leaked before shipping and the slime-substance was found to be toxic.

To avoid problems with European censors, Borkon cautioned Franju not to include too much blood (which would upset French censors), refrain from showing animals getting tortured (which would upset English censors) and leave out mad-scientist characters (which would upset German censors).

In 2021, after complex work, Kilmer's voice was able to be re-created through AI technology using archival audio of his voice.

On Guitar Slim, with no further explanation:

He got together with Muddy Waters in Los Angeles, California, for some lively playing.[10]

.

His childhood home was the Rosenbaum House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. As a teenager, he attended The Putney School in Putney, Vermont, where his classmates included actor Wallace Shawn.[4]

(More unusual details follow)

LOL

On French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse (The Red Balloon, White Mane:

He also invented the strategic board game Risk in 1957.

damn!

travelling back on the rennie stride clue-trial a bit carelessly i was briefly persuaded that these books are the work of the legendary PAT BAG formerly of THE BAGS -- which seemed genuinely like a bogdanoff twins arc tbh :(

The film was shot in Ireland to exploit tax breaks and local resources. [2] The film was also involved in a defamation suit between Dennis Hopper and Rip Torn where Hopper publicly stated Torn pulled a knife on him on the set of Easy Rider back in the 60s. Hopper's representatives tried to settle the defamation suit by floating the offer of a supporting role in Space Truckers which Torn's representatives refused.[3]

Torn missed out on meeting Stevolende!

Loool! I had to look that one up. Is there only the one post?

The band were also affected by the death during the sessions of their friend Gram Parsons: on the day before Parsons' death, he and Richman had played miniature golf and discussed recording together.

!!!

I knew about the connection but not about that very last part.

What, the miniature golf or the recording together? I can't help but be more excited about the former tbh.

Ha, both but really the first of those tbh.

The music video was an unintended spoof of the music video for the single "Feel So Good" by rapper Mase,

I always thought the word spoof implied... intent?

From the Bowie wiki regarding the Diamond Dogs tour, which apparently had an enormous theatrical production thing going on:

Other props worked as expected: for the song "Big Brother", Bowie sang while atop a multi-mirrored glass "asylum", emerging during the next song ("Time") sitting in the palm of a giant hand covered in small light bulbs.[1]

The show in Tampa, Florida, was performed without any of the stage props because the truck driver driving those components ended up in a highway ditch after being stung by a bee.[1]

File under "Spinal Tap was too accurate to be funny"

Everyone's a critic.

Austin Churton Fairman (15 November 1924 – 4 April 1997), who used the name Churton Fairman but was more widely known under the pseudonym Mike Raven in the 1960s and early 1970s, was a British radio disc jockey, actor, sculptor, sheep farmer, writer, TV presenter and producer, ballet dancer, flamenco guitarist and photographer.

This guy obviously could never make up his mind what to do with his life.

(could be worse)

And you should see his sheep.

Chris Willman of Entertainment Weekly felt that the album didn't live up to what it should be because it is too loud, but some songs on the album are good.[10]
