================================================ Subject: Re: shaping religous point of view From: "Kathryn Rhoden" To: Date: Fri 6 Jul 2001 22:40:17 -0500 ================================================ I agree with what ur saying Keith. They don't have airplay on mainstream radio stations. But they do have christian radio stations where they play the songs. I'm not even sure who's the biggest selling christian artist. I don't listen to christian music that much or barely any for that matter. Only when I'm at church with my youth group. Oh well, but I do listen to Creed!! lol Kat >From: Keith Mears >Reply-To: Keith Mears >To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM >Subject: Re: shaping religous point of view >Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2001 19:30:02 -0500 > >Very good points Scott, and I for one agree with you.
