Skillet

So I am not sure if anyone else has ever heard of the band named Skillet, but they are probably my favorite band of all time. I have listened to their music for almost ten years now and even there old stuff has found its' place on my MP3 player. Chris told me that they had a new CD out and I almost pooped my pants because I was so excited (not literally, but you get my point.) He said that he hadn't noticed it before because they are no longer in the Christian section. So of course I had to have there CD and as I listened to it I noticed a pattern. I was kind of surprised because not one of their songs even mentioned Jesus, God, Christianity they had one song that mentioned Angels and that was pretty much as spiritual as what they got. It was so radically different from their original music, even from their stuff from 2002, and 2004. So I got on their website and saw that they went mainstream. I wasn't dissappointed in that or even that they are trying to sell more of their CD's to a larger audience, but that they no longer even say that they are Christians. Their bios didn't even mention that they started out in the Christian music industry or that they even believed in God. I couldn't tell if they were trying to broaden their audience/fan base, or if they are just trying to make more money. It kind of made me sad. I remember in high school all of my friends were HUGE Jewel fans and everyone in our school played her songs on their guitars on lunch and stuff. I still remember how upset they were when she sold out. She started dressing like Brittany Spears and totally changed her music. After that happened they no longer even listened to her music. I don't care that they want to change their audience so much that they really didn't think of their fans in the process. Like I can't go watch them in concert anymore, because they open for bands like Saliva and a bunch of other crappy bands. The last thing I want to go watch is a bunch people cussing and jumping around. It is a stupid reason to be upset I know. I want to write them a letter and tell them how dissappointed I am that they just ditched all of us. (OK, you guys can all laugh at me now.)
