If you only knew....LOL. But why would I share anything private with you when you would simply shred it like you do everything I say simply because you don't like me or the fact that I am LDS??? I don't have a rock and roll lifestyle. I love Paul Rogers. SO??? I appreciate all music. My husband was in the business and knows famous people from all genres of music. He's a musician... That's how he supports us.... Just goes to show how much you twist everything.
'I love Paul Rogers' or 'that's how he supports us' is not a valid response btw.
I have not twisted anything. You have ignored much, beginning with my question.. it is a serious question I am not trying to make a joke.
here is a Wiki page on Paul rogers if you want to use just this one example
Maybe I need to be more specific, using this one exmple is fine... how do you, Jeanie, balance this type of drug culture and satanically influenced music and lifestyle with your contrite LDS dogma?
The problem is.. while on the one hand you preach and post your LDS dogma and even some bible stuff, throughout this webboard, on the other hand you also lift up and widely praise the things and lifestyles that oppose the contrite dogma you also uphold. It is very confusing to me and I was simply wondering how you balance it in your own mind. The fact that you say your husband does it simply because that's how he makes a living.. well that is kind of like you saying fornication and adultery are sins (which you have said more or less) but your husband is a prostitute because that's the only way he knows how to make a living... so for that reason that response is invalid. Doing something that flies in the face of all your other beliefs simply to make money... well I am certain that you justify it somehow or another aside from the fact that it simply keeps food in your stomach.
SoSick, you are confusing me occasionally listening to Paul Rogers to what??? I don't live the lifestyle. I appreciate the music - period. Paul Rogers music is not about drugs... Its sexy but not blatantly so. Its romantic, but not sleezy. My husband grew up with him and wanted to share that with me when he came through town locally in one of only 5 US concerts he performed. I love some of Led Zeppelin, too. It scared me as a kid cause it was seductive, and they have a few songs I'm not comfortable with, but some of it is quite beautiful and classically influenced. They were greatly influenced by Lord of the Rings, actually. They lived wild at one time, but Jimmy Page has since been knighted as has another guy my husband knows well (who's house we've been to twice in Malibu). The singer, Robert Plant, just toured with Allison Krauss - a bluegrass singer! My husband "almost" played with KISS. (They flew him out to audition and it was between him and one other guy). I would not have approved of that and was a bit leery of him when I first heard that but then found out he had played on a hit record which was one of my favorite songs of all time and the guy who started the band now produces people like Josh Groban. 9And the song was very mellow and beautiful). We are also good friends with Vince Gill's drummer. Those are some of the best concerts I've been to!! Total ear candy. You can appreciate music without living the lifestyle. Good grief....Paul Rogers may've been a rocker (and still is) but he is a family man as is our friend from a famous heavy metal band. I wouldn't want my husband being a negative influence on kids (in a spiritual sense) but with what he does, he is a GOOD influence. People grow up. I don't think much of the Rolling Bones and am very selective of what "rock" music I do like. Much gives me a headache. But I appreciate good musicianship. Period.
I was subbing long term last year in a special ed class and some of these kids were struggling with self esteem due to their limitations. (They are not classic Special Ed, just resource, or needed some extra help). The teacher, to make a point, gave them a little test asking them who they would vote for as president out of the descriptions of the lifestyles these people had led throughout their lives. All but one had done something immoral through their lives except for one. I can't remember all the details of what each had done (they were real examples) but when we found out who they were and who we had voted for...... the one who had lived the "cleanest" life had been Adolf Hitler. Which goes to show, you cannot judge someone by their pasts. Including musicians. You could also include the prostitute Jesus forgave who was so adoringly loving toward him. She had the greater appreciation because she had known sin and had much to be forgiven for. You can't judge these people. I don't like the personna or lifestyle some of them seemingly promote, but we're not talking Brittney Spears here. Her bubble gum pop has been among the most damaging out there when you think of HER lifestyle and example. And my husband has been out of that business a long time. So I really don't know what the heck you are talking about. I went to a heavy metal concert cause my husbands friends were in town and it would've been insulting if we hadn't. I realy struggled over that....but the singer actually toned down his normal language for me. I had a guy once say he would build a statue of me if I ever got my, now, husband to the temple. (I did : ) I should say, he did. You have to live high standards for that. He was looking for someone like me because he didn't like the decadence of Hollywood. My husband is NOW and has been for 20 years in THE ARMY BAND. He serves his country. He's been to Kuwait twice. They tour.... They make soldiers feel good about their country and remember home. HE SERVES. You don't seem real big on patriotism, but I am. If I'm not answering to your point, clarify again, but there isn't anything in my lifestyle that doesn't jive with the standards of the church. I live high standards. Not a partier. So don't know what your point is. Paul Rogers is simply a great musician and his music makes me feel good. (And sometimes romantic....) I like Elvis, too. And Josh Groban. (I was obsessed with his music for a couple of years). I like Martina McBride. Sarah McClachlan (sp?). Baroque music..... MUSIC... Depends on my mood.
