I listen to Darius Rucker, when he's on TV, because my nephew "Q" is his lead guitarist. The First Baptist Church from somewhere in Texas has a lead guitartist who sounds pretty good as well, although not as good as "Q.". The difference in them is that "Q" and Darius do not try to pass off what they do as "Christian" music. Both are Christians but they do not try to use the music they entertain the world with as a front for some kind of "Christian" outreach. They are entertainers and that's what they do - entertain.
Lenny Kravitz' music (I don't listen to him so this is the only song of his I know about) is a not very Christ like - IMHO. Here in the Detroit area this sounds like Em&Em's rap music blaring from some car. Where do we draw the line or do we? Should a church Choir sound just like the latest rap-group to mumble its' way through questionable lyrics? Is this what you want your kids to emulate?
I thought as Christians we were supposed to somehow attempt to be just a little bit different from those in the world around us. (Rev 18:3,4,5) But hey: What do I know?
