That's a good point and I'm kinda surprised she didn't get more flack for openly mocking another religion.
I mean, if she did a concert and desecrated a Star of David or was gyrating on a replica of the Ark of the Covenant, maybe seducing a likeness of Muhammad or something like that, I bet there would have been a huge uproar. The woman can show up a cross though and Christians are being ridiculous.
Kinda weird and a double standard in my book.
Maybe that's because she was raised a Catholic? You know, the old belief that you can mock yourself & get away with it? Not that I agree with her behavior, but that could explain why she didn't get too much flack over it.
Especially after seeing you in that Elvis get-up! (Not that I'll ever say where I saw it...)
It's true June. In fact, if anything good at all came from my exposure to that type of music it was the realization of just how powerful music can be. I'm fully convinced that music played a MAJOR role in the way I was living my life then. There's more power and influence in the music we listen to than we will probably ever know on this side of death.

I'll give her that, she knows how to appeal to the masses, for sure.

LOL. Never could quite get the grunge thing, gizmo. I was all Iron Maiden, Dio, Tesla, and Ozzy etc. Nirvana et al were emerging and growing as I was getting deeper and deeper into the previously mentioned things. Back when anything new came out of Seattle, ya know?

Would you believe that at this same time (and even now) I was a huge classical fan?
I went to (some) college at Queens College in Charlotte (until I was politely asked to leave) and frequently the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra would play at Belk Auditorium.
I love(d) classical music.
But understand at one point I'd have Dokken, AC/DC, Run DMC, Alabama, and classical in the same cassette case (you remember those lil square things, right?)
I've always been a bit of a musical enigma.
Now, I try and really watch what I eat, if ya know what I mean.
