Your Words are not Mine
Despite some accusations to the contrary, we do try to be balanced and fair here at Down The Line. Except against the music industry giant, of course. Most people get this… but we still get surprised at those that don’t. Not that they don’t get it, but the weird logical leaps they go through to prove (to us, at least) that they don’t.
A few people need to learn that printing someone else’s position in a magazine does not equal to us agreeing (or disagreeing) with what they say. The Earth is not going to stop rotating because someone else got to say something that I don’t like.
Of course, this is really just part of the culture we live in. How many million blog posts have been written just because someone has to get the last word in? The older I get, the less I care about correcting every wrong sentence in the world and the more I become concerned with righting what is wrong in me or the people that I am called to advocate for (my friends and the needy).
Action Spotlight:
Don’t just complain about the world – do something to change it
Streams of Mercy is transforming the lives of orphans around the world by partnering with existing orphanages to raise awareness, to raise funding, and to send volunteer work teams. Streams of Mercy was “established to meet the needs of the most needy individuals in nations around the world. These individuals are often children who are desperate and helpless in changing their circumstances. The organization is actively involved in disaster relief, both man-made and natural, by mobilizing volunteers and resources to assist those in need.” streamsofmercy.org (Streams of Mercy did not buy this ad nor do they endorse this magazine – just givin’ ya food for thought)

Vision:
Down the Line covers bands that explored the intersection between faith and art in the 1980s through the early 1990s – even though they were probably never accepted in to what is called “Contemporary Christian Music” because they were too edgy or alternative or liberal or for whatever reason. Some of these bands may still be making music today, and others may have moved on. We cover these bands (active or dormant) as well as any new projects by former members of these bands and any new bands that may have the same spirit as these bands.
