Yucchhh!!!
What a sad state of affairs when an unregenerate metal-head can write deeper spiritual lyrics than a Christian artist. |

(I can't believe I'm defending Amy Grant, but I'm not really, so.....)
ISTM Baby, Baby is meant to convey one of those non-profound, affectionate moments lovers have. To compare it as though it is necessarily meant to be as profound as the Black Sabbath lyrics and falls short is about as fair as comparing "Happy Birthday" with "Let not the marriage of true minds." ISTM they are just different genres. And besides, comparing the lameness of a relatively lame Christian(?) artist to a moment of profundity from a pagan artist and then somehow making it a commentary on "what metal-heads can do" and "what Christian artists can do" ignores the existence of some very fine Christian lyricists and ignores the fact that most unregenerate metal-heads churn out juvenile trash. And I don't even LIKE most CCM! ~Jane, a Bonsai Ent

Well spoken my dear bonsai ent!
I purposely picked the lamest of the lame (at least the lamest that I knew of), indeed the stereotype of cross-over lameness. Why? Because I have a bad sense of humor and got a good giggle out of it.  If I really wanted to defend CCM, I'd pick some Rich Mullins lyrics, Michael Card or Keith Green. Quote: |

Unfortunately I can find much more moments of profundity from Black Sabbath lyrics than any of Amy Grant's (except for El Shaddai which is really Micheal Card).

of profundity in Phil Keaggy than I can in Britney spears.
All I'm saying is that your generalizations aren't effective, not that Amy Grant is any good. ~Jane, a Bonsai Ent
