Not Christian Rock Article Options

Came across this article on Google. It covers a lot of different artists. The portion about Live is highlighted below:

Live is sometimes thought of as a Christian band, and Ed Kowalcyk specifically said that "I Alone" was written about the Christian church.

Until you listen to the lyrics of "Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition)": Heard a lot of talk about this Jesus / A man of love, a man of strength / But what a man was two thousand years ago / Means nothing at all to me today

This could be Zig-Zagged, as the song actually describes a young man who deliberately embraces the most cynical stances he can, while people around him are trying to make him see the brighter side.
Heard a lot of talk about my spirit
Heard a lot of talk about my soul
But I decided that anxiety and pain
Were better friends
So I let it go

Also, most Christian rockers don't drop f-bombs in their songs.

Ironically, as of 2010, lead vocalist Ed Kowalczyk is now a legit Christian rock musician; songs on his solo debut include "Zion" and "In Your Light" as well as lead single "Grace".
