This is for-real the reason. It helps them to "resist temptation."

On another note, I worked a Reel Big Fish show in college (2004ish); those guys were really nice.

Did anyone else have parents that weren't religious but were very uptight about sex? I could play magic cards, vidya games and utter demonic chants while sitting in a candlelit room with a pentagram all day but showing any interest in girls would always send them into a panic.

Back when he still was doing the Your Band Sucks collumn, Dr. Thorpe described them pretty accurately as a Christian-ish band, in that they're clearly writing songs about Christianity, but were rarely that explicit about it. Also Scott Stapp clearly had a pretty big messianic complex, and sucked hardcore, which are both regular components of Christian rock.

Smashmouth and the pop princesses of the period were the regulars at the gas station I worked at the summer of 99, where the radio got a pop station, a country station, and NPR very badly. It had a tape deck, which ate my copy of Back in Black.

I own Pink Floyd concert bootlegs on vinyl thanks to that time in my life, which is indefensible.

We're both leaving out what was truly horrible about music in the 90s, especially for Vermonters: the emergence and rise of Phish.

We could have crushed it when it was still small and vulnerable, but failed to. Such is our collective shame.

But at least we can listen to one of the writers of Parks & Rec try (and largely fail) to defend liking Phish. Also, Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream. :yum:

Phish wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't spawned a legion of awful "jam bands". I once had to rescue one of my friends who spent the night passed out tangled up in a barbed wire fence at a Strangefolk show.
