In a very worrying development, I now find myself alternating between, say,
Autechre and the cheesy
Contemporary Christian music station on the way to and from
work. This is
shocking even to me, a nonrepentant music
snob, and former hardcore
Sartre-toting
atheist. I've gone soft. I've
sold out. There! I've admitted it! I'm a
Christian! And I'm
happy it's almost
Christmas and I want to
remind myself, after all these years, that there is a force of
benevolence at the center of
everything.
In my
defense, I do admit switching over to
The Orb or
Richard H. Kirk when the
cheese gets too thick. I may be a Christian, but I'm not an
idiot.
