================================================ Subject: Introduction From: "Joe Earles" To: Date: Sat 19 Jan 2002 01:39:05 -0500 ================================================ Greetings, fellow Creed Fans! My name is Joe and I've just subscribed to this list tonight. By way of intorduction, allow me to tell you all a bit about who I am. I live in Massachusetts (yes, I'm going to the Boston show - my first Creed concert and the first of any kind I've bothered to make an effort to get to in over 10 years), I post to the message boards under the alias of Gryffindor. My other obsessions are Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Harry Potter. I got into Creed two summers back while chaperoning a trip with my church's youth group. I got into a debate over whether Creed is a Christian band... The FAQ at creed.com Gives Scott's own answer to that question and that's just fine by me. That conversation did make me start paying closer attention to the lyrics and I've never heard any rock band that delivered the kind of honesty and transparency in thier lyrics that Scott Stapp does with Creed. I won't forge any new arguments about Creed's spiritual orientations but I will say this: there is a dimention to their music that simply does not exist elsewhere in mainstream rock today and that's what has drawn me to them. I think Scott has a lot to say, and I'm glad to listen. His life experiences and mine have several significant parallels.
