God Given

Last week, James and I went to see NIN in Duluth, GA. I've been reluctant to go in the past, using the excuse that I'd fit in like a sore thumb, thinking, of course, that everyone there would be gothed out. After falling in love with With Teeth, Year Zero, and the Slip, (not to mention how utterly HOT Trent Reznor has become) I agreed to go.

As we drove into the parking lot, we see a teenager standing on the median, holding a bible, preaching. I'm a pretty liberal Christian, but even I have to roll my eyes at that display. Walking up to the convention center, someone hands James a pamphlet that says SIN. Yet again, I roll my eyes. Like I'm going to "see the light" and give up my expensive tickets. Yeah right. I half expected them to be outside afterwards throwing holy water on people and yelling "The power of Christ compels you!". *snicker*

So, this morning, I find out that one of my favorite Christian bands, Flyleaf, has come out with a live album and guess what song they cover? "Something I can Never Have" by NIN. Haha - take that!
