Good concept and idea, but didn't really go anywhere. Dates seem irrelevant, he jumps around without warning or reason. And I'm very surprised that a book about Christian Rock music talks about the 3,000 kids at Cornerstone and the other small numbers at other festivals but doesn't even mention the 100,000+ at Creationfest. Didn't make sense to me, although I did get the impression he was slightly downplaying the entire genre. Maybe he wasn't doing it consciously, and maybe I'm oversensitive and he wasn't doing it at all, but that was the impression I came away with, the attitude of "isn't that so cute what they're doing".
