Jewish vs. Xtian music

[Karen Daniel <Karen.Daniel...>]

     How can Jewish music "sound like" Xtian rock?
     
     We are not singing about the Xtian savior.  We are not trying to 
     convert people of other faiths.  
     
     Oh, you meant that it might have the same beat? the same popular 
     appeal that Xtian music has?  My teenage daughter, about whom I have 
     spoken before, mentioned the other day that some of her friends 
     listened to Xtian music, as well as to the usual Hansen, Alanis 
     Morisette, etc.  So she understood the concept of listening to Jewish 
     music as well...if she heard any she really liked.  These same 
     friends are wearing WWJD bracelets.  They are really into their 
     religion.  Pop culture is important to teens.  We should provide 
     something Jewish for them to relate to and feel good about.
     
     The music that some contemporary Jewish artists (including myself, 
     actually) write often uses Jewish holidays, values, prayers etc. as 
     the background for a song sung mostly in English, for the purpose of 
     bringing Jewish culture and tradition into music one might listen to 
     in the car, at the office, during an evening at home, and not as 
     either synagogue service music or camp singalong music.  
     
     I don't think this is a new concept.  In the "good old days" we sang 
     lovesongs in Yiddish....What would you all think about a country 
     lovesong with a Jewish theme?
