Port Fairy Folk Festival

12 March 2006 9:55am

Sitting listening to a Christian singer at Port Fairy. We're at the folk festival.

the background - as you know if you've been keeping up with our blog (if not, why not, slack bastards...) we worked for kate miller-heidke doing merch in sydney. anyway, after that, she and her manager leanne got liz and i free tickets to the port fairy folk festival to do her merch there. we danced many a happy dance after that phone call. the story continues...

All these Christian songs sound the same. Seriously. they have the same chords, the same rhythm, and almost the same words (Jesus is my saviour...) I understand the message, but a little variety would be nice.

Right, this is my blog so dammit i'm going to preach. I just have to express how TOTALLY APPALING THESE PUPPETS ARE!

They're singing a song to the tune of the Addams family theme about how we're all sinners, and that's why the world is so crap.

now they're singing "help me jesus" to the tune of "help me rhonda", about repentance, and asking for help to "get the devil out of my heart". correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that an exorcism?

this just gets more appaling. they're getting kids to do actions to a song, including pretending they're crucified and hanging dead like jesus.

apparently the most important thing about heaven is that "everybody knows your name".

Favourite quote so far: "heaven must be a great place because God is good"

This shit sickens me.

(this is the opinion of liv, and does not reflect the opinions of any other person, organisation or planetary body associate with this blog)

ok. let me clarify my rant. anyone can believe whatever they want to believe. but preaching this shit on the street and telling me i'm a terrible person because they have decided it is so, offends me to my very core. they are harming their children in the most insidious and repulsive ways, and don't even understand that they are doing it.

right. rant over. back to the story...
