trapped in the youtubes

I was having a message board discussion today about musical "legends" you've seen in concert.  My list is dreadfully short, but it did get me thinking about what I recall as the first concert I ever attended, at least outside the realm of school programs and such....

I still remember sitting in that dark church, near the back, bawling my fucking eyes out to this song.  The whole song seems laughable to me now, listening it to it, but I'd lie if I said it didn't bring a tear to my eye, still.  Such is the power of memory and nostalgia, I guess.  Of course, this being the internet, I can hardly stop at one song... not with YouTube's delightful selection of related clips.

Yep... that's another song I remember, now, finally, fully realized through the power of "interpartive" mime.  I don't recall many mimes lip-syncing... but then again, this is pretty advanced mimery.

I should have stopped there.  It wasn't getting any better than that.  How, though, could I resist a little number called "Dear Mr. Jesus."

Well, that's pretty much the most fucked-up "Christian" song I've ever heard.  I'm not sure what the point is... the most literal interpretation seems to be chastising Jesus for not doing something about child abuse.  Valid point, really... assuming you believe in Jesus.  I doubt that's what they are going for.  I can tell you one thing, though.... I wouldn't mind abusing the piece of shit bastard who made a poor little girl sing this terrible, fucked up song.

Oh my god. Those are some seriously wrong songs, and I couldn't listen to any of them all the way through. Good gravy, man, what have you been doing with your time whilst I was on my Firefox fast?
