Pat Boone's new recording was intended to be in good fun. Obviously the joke
backfired. The songs on the album were originally done by heavy metal bands,
but he performed them in his own usual style, complete with orchestral backing.

Seems to me any evil in rock music is in the lyrics and common trappings of
the rock culture. The style itself has been put to positive use by many
Christian artists. My wife, in fact, took her first step toward serving
Christ at a Christian concert (Petra). From within the Apostolic movement,
David and the Giants have been a powerful witness for truth, and many have
received the Holy Ghost through their ministry.
