1990s Christmas Rock music~

you jest but I have literal rock christmas albums from the industry. pretty sure Five Iron Frenzy did some kickass covers on one, oh and Sixpence's "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" on that album that didn't get the rights to use any of the songs so it was immediately banned. I have a copy.

great song, Leigh has some quality sarcasm in her delivery

Leigh?

also what is the worst thing you know

and the best thing

Leigh Nash, lead singer of Sixpence None the Richer

lmao about music? uhhhh

worst is probably that yeah, despite the religion there were a lot of shitty things happening in the industry - drug problems, racism, contract breaches, etc etc. it was definitely not all sunshine happy times

labels ready to drop or blackball someone if they turned out to be gay, atheist, or otherwise

best thing um. that's hard to say

/headscratch

ohh

that uscks but is not surprising

right? like, 25 years ago I'd have been surprised but in hindsight, not that shocking

yeaaaaah

it is shit that a couple of very talented musicians got blackballed for being gay but in the end they got free and are living their best lives now so that's good

that is a plus side

tis indeed

Jennifer Knapp especially, she was a super great songwriter so being able to move on and just make good music was the best move for her

bless
