Mark Joseph on Lifehouse in particular and Christian rock in general.

Whatever the complex sociological reasons, white rock stars distanced themselves from Christianity and, if they did have any connection to it, either hid it or else embraced Old Scratch to the point that nobody would think to ask what church they attended.

What about U2? Or Bob Dylan (at least from about 1979-81)? There's also a whiff of "if only he'd accepted Jesus etc" to it which I dislike when the late Mr Cobain is mentioned. But his argument that Christian performers need to not keep defining themselves as a separate category is worth considering...
