I liked it because everything I'd done before was stressful, deadline type stuff.Being in close proximity to a college town, kitchens are staffed by students and the bohemian, hedonistic and pseudo-intellectual sorts common to these communities. Strangely enough, I prefer the company of these freaks to my "christian brethren" . I think they're more honest about what they are and don't hide it behind a veil of hypocrisy.
I experienced this in my metal band days. Getting to hang out with those types, I often felt at home more than at churches. Of course there were some sketchy characters, but metal folks by nature sense something deeply wrong about Western life, and tend to be cynical about a lot of things we should be cynical about, though they come to some wrong conclusions about it.
I like the same company that Jesus did and get the same reaction He got from the Religious establishment.So, I must be doing something right.
Music; I'm a blank generation rock n roll guy. I easier to say who I hate....KISS, Hair Bands except motley crue and that's Mick Mars guitar work really. I don't like Elvis after his debut album and the white guys singing black artists songs like Pat Boone etc.
For worship I like hymns, old time black gospel and a few southern gospel. I don't like "choruses"
I love way we can just wander all over the place here.
blessings on you, brother.
PS. Metal; the 24 minute sonic assault of Slayer's Reign in Blood, Hard to beat imo.
For his era, I remember hearing all about Mick Mars and how good his guitar sound was love. Part of that was his playing, but there were other factors involved (technicians, etc)
Reign In Blood is one of the best metal albums made. I never got into them though, as they were a tad before my time.
Most of the bands I was/are into were a little under the radar, though a lot of the metal has gotten traction in the last decade because of good recording technology being a lot cheaper and the Internet and all.
