the nashville scene

if you are a nashvillian then check out the latest issue of "the scene". it is a pretty interesting article about rcktwn club. for those who dont know rcktwn is a christian music venue with a skatepark and coffee shop. it is the coolest place i have ever seen but it is slightly controversial. you see, being a music venue they have all sorts of concerts. they are loose with who comes, although they deny those bands who are violent and totally offensive. thousands of people come thru the doors each week. they are reaching people in a whole new way. it is truly a dirty business. you just cant win though. the christians get upset because it is not christian enough. my friend ben cissel(known as the drummer of audio adrenaline) is now the bossman out there. he has a huge heart for those kids who are there. they dont have parents who love them at all but the kids will hang out at this place everyday. the staff becomes their parents. they even go to pta for some of those kids.
anyway, "the scene"had a big article about it all. i am not sure what i think about the article just yet. maybe they were poking a little fun at christianity maybe not. maybe they dont have to. bottom line, christianity is not cool. no matter how hard we try, we are not cool. more on that later. for now, check out "the scene".
