How in the world did Daughtry not win American Idol. Daughtry was AWESOME! I am already a HUGE Daughtry fan and going to his concert only furthered that. What a show. Very cool. My wife did an awesome job of surprising me with floor seats for my birthday. We left for Pueblo as soon as Jonah got home from school that day and came back this morning. Definitely want to go to another show when he comes back in our area.
A "Christian" band opened for Daughtry that night. Daughtry's music definitely has some spiritual overtones/undertones. His band before American Idol was a Christian alternative band. When they announced who was opening I was excited. Not only as a chance to hear this band but how cool it was that Daughtry would invite them to come along. No need to tell you who the band was. First of all, their sound was horrible. Very disappointed in their quality. EVEN MORE disappointing was their display of dandelion Christianity.
What is dandelion Christianity? Glad you asked. At a break in the music the lead singer after yelling "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK AND ROOOOLLLLLLL?" 20 times, went on a spiel about what could change the world. He said (as word for word as I can remember): "Machine guns can't change the world. Money can't change the world. Power can't change the world. We firmly believe that there is only ONE THING that can change the world. Put your arm around your neighbor and love them no matter what they believe." I about came out of my seat. That is dandelion Christianity. The "can't we all just get along" theology. What about Jesus? Maybe HE is the only thing that can change the world. I agree we need to love people who are not like us, BUT THAT WON'T CHANGE THE WORLD. Only Jesus can, and Jesus in THEIR lives. Anyway, I was very disappointed. I would have rather him said nothing, than say that.
Anyway, we had a GREAT time. My wife is awesome and thank you Terri for staying behind with the Maness mayhem.
Following Christ,
Jeff
