Stop with the emails!!!

So, today I got another one of those emails, subject line: "Warning, Bad Children's Movie Coming Out!". I sort of stole the idea for this post from Mary's cousin, but I don't remember his blog name or url, so I can't give credit completely.
Of course, this emails was about the Golden Compass. A new children's fantasy movie similar to Narnia, in which each character has an animal spirit guide... and blah, blah blah. The biggest concern people have is that the author is a huge atheist. In the movie, he kills some sort of Lion character (the symbolic Christ character in Narnia), and people are all up in arms about it. People are worried that their kids are going to get attached to this movie, and then when they get older, the values in this movie will make them give up their Christian background, and go the way of the atheist.
Let me say this, mine, nor anyone I know's religious beliefs were shaped by a children's book/movie. I didn't realize that those books had religious undertones until I was much older. My boss is an atheist, and he read the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe when he was a kid, how could he turn out atheist?
The whole thing is just dumb to me. If the argument was that the director is a huge atheist, and we shouldn't take our kids to the movie so we don't support this guy, I would still have a problem with that, but I would at least understand the argument. But the argument that this movie is going to turn your 7 year old into a non-believer, is beyond me.

Yellow Ledbetter

Anyone who knows me, knows that I love Pearl Jam. They are most definitely my favorite band. One of my favorite songs of theirs is Yellow Ledbetter. The song is played live and may be no their "Lost Dogs" album, but the lyrics have never been documented, so people try to figure them ou. This guy made a video of what the lyrics could be...





My favorite part has to be "Potato Wave" or "Make me Fries!".

Pandora Station

I haven't posed in a while, so i thought I would let people know something they can do while waiting for my next post. I've been listening to Pandora, or the Music Genome Project. Basically, it a huge system of music. You put in your favorite bands or songs, and based on what you like, they create a custom radio station based on your preferences. Here is a link to my station. I have several stations, but this is the one I listen to the most.
