Rock Converts
July 18, 2008 at 3:05 pm | In Theology | Leave a CommentWhen I saw this, I was reminded of this guy, who appears to be headed on an opposite journey. This got me thinking about rock stars who have converted to Christianity. So, I thought I’d do some digging and see who popped out. Here is a list for your blogreading pleasure:
- Brian Welch, founder of Korn: He looks like a Russian monk with that beard
- John Michael Talbot, from Mason Proffit: Not only became a Christian, but founded his own monastic order
- Shock rocker Alice Cooper: Now styles himself as a “prophet of doom”
And you’re probably aware that Paul ‘Bono’ Hewson is a lifelong Anglican, but did you know that the legendary Styx keyboardist Dennis DeYoung has been a devout Roman Catholic his entire life? Not only that, but he is still married to his high school sweetheart, forbid the use of drugs as he toured with his family, and played the part of Pilate in Jesus Christ Superstar. Now, I’ll bet that you want to search the lyrics to Lady for references to the Immaculate Conception.
Let me know if you find any.
