Why are people so obssessed...
By the religion of a band?

Seriously. I know people who are willing to make every tune you listen to into a political statement. For example, a friend who won't listen to Slipknot, but enjoyed them up until he saw their live show and the whole 555/666 thing. He likes any band that's preachy, regardless of quality. similarly, I get a ton of people who complain about my music, either for Christian connotations (I like a couple of so-called "crhistian bands," though I hate the preaching and shit msot do), or the exact opposite (For listening to that evil devil worship music....). I've known people who refuse to buy a gay artist's music, or who bought it, then hated it when they found out that they were gay.

Isn't it possible to listen to music without being totally anal about how only people of your religious/political/sexual alignment are the only ones who can write good music?

“There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”
