The idea of a popular music concerts today, in my opinion is no where near spiritual, unless one finds getting intoxicated and falling under the influence of countless drugs a spiritual experience (which I am sure some people do). Music festivals today are jammed packed with drugs, alcohol, and blaring music and have little to do with self reflection and spirituality. I mean even the majority of most popular music concerts today contain lyrics that reflect ideas surrounding alcohols, drugs, or sex. I understand the argument that some might find a spiritual release at these types of events, but I just don't find that convincing, to answer the question.]]> 2018-03-02 01:14:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237247067 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237247753 2018-03-02 01:18:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237247753 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237259938 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation

A completely different dynamic as you can see the one girl's shirt even says she is on drugs.]]> 2018-03-02 02:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237263350 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237263925 2018-03-02 02:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237263925 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237264378 But... before you think that I am some music festival grinch, I did not always know Jesus and was hardly spiritual back then. Back then, I had my fair share of run ins with drugs and alcohol at music festivals. I will explain these more in detail under the videos.]]> 2018-03-02 03:01:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237264378 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237264718 So if you watch this video, the very first moment used to be me at concerts or even before the concert. This was before I was spiritual and the concert  experience was purely for doing drugs and seeing one of my favorite artists. Yea, it was fun but it always left me empty until I decided to follow Christ]]> 2018-03-02 03:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237264718 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237265010 This is one of my favorite songs right now from Hillsong Young and Free. I have had the opportunity to see them live and I'll tell you at that concert, there is no one doing drugs in a tent or painting their body in some tribal paint to be lifted up on their friends shoulders and "rave."]]> 2018-03-02 03:06:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237265010 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237265825 These two segments above factor directly into my argument of how my experiences shape my view of spirituality and today's concerts. Now, I am not saying that I hate today's popular concerts because I still attend them, and they are a blast! BUT, today's concerts do not give me an opportunity to reflect and worship, which is ultimately the thing that makes me the happiest, turned my life around, and the reason I am still here today.]]> 2018-03-02 03:12:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237265825 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237266964 "Being a Deadhead meant that the Grateful Dead became a central focus in your life."

I just find it crazy how that is still so relevant today and people make a band or person a part of them and go crazy for them.]]> 2018-03-02 03:24:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237267436 lucianovine https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237267841 “Drugs are often taken or retaken at this time….in preparation for the second set, which is generally regarded as the highlight of the ritual performance.” (Sylvan, 92)]]> 2018-03-02 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lucianovine/7mmu6il4sgzu/wish/237267841
