Indeed, but was it the genre or the music itself? I mean I'm glad God rescued you, and sometimes we do need to move away from something if it is causing us to stumble, even if it's something that is benign to most other people.

Not sure . . . much (if not all) of the music I listened to was produced by people using drugs and it sounded better when on drugs.  (Then again, Ted Nugent claimed he never did drugs )

Yup..when on the road, I wore it braided. Half way down my back.

I usually let it flow - down to the small of my back. When with that church in Ba-zerkly I got baptized and cut it all off, bought wing-tips and started a file clerk job in downtown SF.  Talk about culture shock!

Well, I can't say as I've ever tried listening to any music on drugs (never done drugs) and I don't listen to a lot of secular rock and roll. I listen to some Christian Rock, but I tend to be more of a country guy. It's interesting how different people's life experiences can shape their perspectives on things.

Sure!  Well the world/enemy throws out a very big net with thousands of distractions and some more damaging than others.  But in the end it all leads to the same place - destruction.  (which reminds me of a certain rock song by Molly Hatchet!)

Lol I've never even heard of Molly Hatchet. But, your words are very true.

Firstly, not sure we can fellowship if you don't like avocados.

Secondly this verse sums it up for me - The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  2 Peter 3:9

I like avocado alot,and your quote choice sums it up for me as well-

I am not suggesting any timeline. I avoid that sort of thing like a do avacados.

I do tend to fall down on the side of '153' fishes.

I avoid date setting like I do Liver and Onions.  I detest them both.

That has much more meaning for me than the avocado @Alive mentioned!

Kids today, with their fast cars and rock n roll.

It all seemed pretty innocuous, eh?!

I wasn't serious, and I wasn't alive in the 60's.

I did a bit of a Google and found out that drugs, sex and music existed before the 1960's.

No, they didn't.  I was there and they were all a brand new thing back then.
