Ive seen Chris in concert. He's very good. As believers in Christ, we so need to be together as much as we can. Going to concerts together is a great place to do just that. Are you saved? If you are, you love, love, love to be with fellow believers...just to be together.

The ABSOLUTE nadir of late 70s-early 80s soft rock. Simply nauseating.
