Mark, My Words: The last thing we want to see is a humble Kanye, but...

"For someone who claims to be a rock star, he’s missing a major point of the job. Rock’n’roll was about subverting traditional engrained ideas, of not doing and believing what you’re told, of questioning the world and everything in it. Every radical musician from Lennon to Frank Turner has questioned religion in song and to succumb to it feels a major step backwards, as if ideological progress never happened. To turn purely Christian, musically, is to deny progress, to champion conformity, to scrap sixty years of alternative culture. So it’s with clenched ears that I’ll be listening to ‘Jesus Is King’ when it arrives. God help us" - a great new blog by Mark 'My Words' Beaumont about Kanye West turning Christian.
