But to the reason I posted – what are we to do? What is Caedmon’s to do? Stew about it? Think bad thoughts about Essential? Pray that they stub their little toe while leaving their office today? Not buy the “Greatest Hits” album in protest? Hope the GH album tanks!

Look, you do what you want. But making right the “injustice” is out our hands. Call them names and call them out, drop your words on them. Feel better? OK- now what? See my point. The album is still in stores and Caedmon’s has another album to support. You’ve just added to the chaos. Not all things are profitable. So, leave the “justice” to God (Rom 12:19-21). I’m not saying don’t call it what it is, just don’t call it what it is to the point of sin in your heart. Sin on their hands doesn’t justify sin on mine or yours.

And what I meant by sovereignty was this: OJ will stand before God and give an account of what he’s done. And so will everyone else whose sour grapes haven’t been accounted for this side of heaven (this to shall be made right).

And hey- according to Rom. 8:28 it will work out for the good.

So my prayer is let people buy the GH album. CC is so good that most will want to buy there others…including Overdressed. If not I hope they are able to recognize good music and what a proper Christian perspective of life, love, salvation and God looks like. I know Caedmon’s has broadened me, why not someone else.

Overdressed is not a get-rich-quick album. It’s a this-is-who-we-are album. And revengeful is not who they are, I would believe. Though angry they may be, I’m sure they trust God ultimately for the success of their new album. Don’t you?

Also, you sound like a very intelligent person. I’m sure you can teach me a thing or two. Let’s start with “your lack of knowledge concerning CC concerts, etc, suggests lackeydom”. Please elaborate for my edification.

Thanks for reading,

Eric

Everything you just said, as well-meaning as I’m pretending it to be as I pretend to give you the benefit of the doubt, is bogus.

I would suggest that if I see injustice, and go “quietly about my business,” which is the practice of law, I am in sin. I would suggest if I see someone wronged in front of me, and allow the wrongdoer to go unopposed to wrong another, in the name of “not thwarting God’s plan,” I am the man who was given a talent and hid it under a rock.

Eric – I have no idea if you post on the board, but your post, your lack of knowledge concerning CC concerts, etc, suggests lackeydom. And I’m going to call it for what it is – BS.

That is also what releasing the “greatest hits” was – BS. It reeks of sour grapes. It’s the sort of thing that gives the “christian” music industry zero credibility in my generation. And, unfortunately, it supports “what works”, that is, what works in making a profit at the expense of distributing art, instead of “what’s right.”

This Greatest Hits CD was not released pursuant to a contract. Sure, Essential can do it, they own the circle P copyright on all of CC’s Essential albums. But to release it when they did? It is the worst kind of rotten animal dung. And no matter how you cover that animal dung up with flowers and platitudes like “God is sovereign,” you have not changed the fact that it is animal dung.

I am not called by God to love a corporation. I am called to love people. I can’t take your “truth in a candy bar.” If I call Essential’s move anything other than animal dung, then I am lying and in sin.

So therefore, I will keep my mouth shut. A “quiet heart,” as you put it.

Love and Kisses,

Ross the poophead.

Well, there are some things that I just can’t say when I’m posting on caedmonscall.net, despite the fact that we emblazon “the officially unofficial fan site of Caedmon’s Call” all across the top of every page. You’…
