Christian rock spreads election-year gospel

“Hey, wassup, I’m tobyMac,” says the former dc Talk rapper, sporting hip-hop gear and dark glasses, standing in front of his serpent green tour bus. Gabriel from the band Rock ‘N’ Roll Worship Circus looks totally strung-out but talks clean, telling the kids to vote “however God moves your heart to vote.” Out of Eden looks like TLC. Jonah33, a copy of Coldplay, sings the Redeem the Vote theme song, “Silence Never Speaks.”

Christians can be funny. The mainstream (and much of underground) Christian music scene is funny. Funny as in pathetic, I mean.

The media doesn’t have to try very hard to ridicule them, as they are very apt to being ridiculed. They look ridiculous. They talk ridiculous. Who doesn’t want to make fun of tobyMac when he gets on stage and looks goofy (I mean, other than 9 year old girls).

Yet the funny thing is, when the media ridicules them, they are only making fun of what they themselves like and want to be. For, sadly, most Christian rock groups are just carbon copies of what the world offers with a little God-talk peppered in.
