by good & bad i'm not talking about holy vs. profane...or spiritual vs. secular. I'm talking about good art vs. bad art...good music vs. bad music.
good art/music...art/music that inspires....that moves your emotions and feelings...that could be in a positive way or negative way...good art/music that reaches into you soul and causes you to laugh, cry, think, reflect, sing, paint, etc....hopefully you get the picture

Re: Kings of Leon
I just went and read the lyrics to every song they have. These really stuck out to me black thumbnail, cold desert and especially revelry. It really sounds like someone who misses their relationship with GOD, and feels hopeless about redemption. Revelry to many will sound like a lost relationship with a girl.....but I see it as a reflection of a lost relationship with GOD. I know the thoughts he sings of are the very same thoughts I had while away from GOD. just my opinion....if any gets time read the lyrics and listen to them and see what you think?

Or.... Maybe they just practiced a lot...
Nah -- probably a deal with the devil.

Most likely their improvement is due to hard work, educating themselves, and lots of practice.

They're backsliden....by default of course they sold their soul to the devil. That does not mean they literally met the devil, signed an agreement and got a satanic blessing.
Either you are a servant of God or by default you are serving the desires of the devil
