The Pop Gospel
by David Buckna
QUIZ: 2005 Year-in-Review: The Gospel of Rock
"The wall of separation that once kept rock and religion away from one
another is coming down, and the secularists...who once held it in place
are giving way to a new generation of artists and executives who
believe
that faith has a place in popular music. If the music is good enough."
-- Mark Joseph, "Faith, God & Rock 'n' Roll"
