I finally finished Blue Like Jazz and can say the whole thing is quite good. My small group tonight was awesome. Our leaders are moving to CO in a week, and the rest of the group said, "Hey, we like us. Let's keep being us (a group) after they go. Lets not even worry about being sanctioned through our church, lets just keep getting together." So, that was pretty cool. I like the people there. There's even one guy who I kept having great band conversations with. We just liked all the same stuff, until...
we were talking about the last concert we each been to and he said Ben Folds/Guster and "Rufus 'I suck' Wainwright" (note the quotes I would never ever ever say anything so terrible).
My high-pitched, terror-stricken shriek brought the attention of the whole room (oops). He asked if it wasn't okay and couldn't we disagree on somethings? This is, of course, true in most cases, but I told him that he was now dead to me because he said Rufus was "okay on cd, but awful in person." *@#%! Just 'okay' and 'awful'! My prolonged discomfort did make him reconsider and tell me that maybe, I'd be able to convert him to liking Rufus.
I should hope so.

Oh, no. Someone doesn't like Rufus? That's so... so... sad. I'm glad you liked Blue Like Jazz, by the way. It's a good book. Nice to read something both by a Christian AND well written.
