Underoath

Yesterday I went to an Underoath concert with Martin. Underoath is a christian heavy metal that is very popular even among non-christians, so I was a little aprehensive about the people who would be there. It turned out to be an odd mix. Lots of obviously non-christians but also quite a few christians. Then there were some parents and some people that didn't really fit ("fresas" and other people like that). It was at the Rialto theater in downtown Tucson which was a pretty nice place for the concert. The concert was supposed to start at 6:30 but didn't start until 7:20 but that was ok because martin and me some time to hang out. The first band that played is called "Maylene and the Sons of Disaster." Their music was good and they put on a good show. The second band was definitely the worst. They were called "Poison the Well" and pretty much overall bad. Bad music and bad lyrics made worse by swearing. The third band, "Every Time I Die," had some really good music and put on a pretty good show but again was ruined by lots of swearing. Which brings me to my problem with the concert: the first three bands were not christian bands. It was pretty frustrating. Then Underoath played and it was awesome. It was a great show and great music just like I thought it would be. They played two of my three favorite songs including the song they played for the encore. The best part though was when the leader singer stood up in front of everyone and said "Jesus saved my life." It really pumped me up for the last few songs and seeing as I was right up at front in the edges of the mash pit it helped. It was a fun concert.


Now I'd like your opinion. Should christian band tour with non-christian bands, whether as the main band or as an opener or not at all?

On a seperate note, why is Jimmy Rollins getting so much attention as the fourth player ever to hit 20 doubles, 20 triples, and 20 home runs in a season, when the third was Curtis Granderson (this season too) and he did it sooner in the season?
