“One thing that has been very distressing these last few months is looking at MySpace and seeing the incredible number of Christian hardcore and deathmetal bands,” Blush says. “It is staggering; there are hundreds and hundreds of them. That, to me, is scary. The one thing in hardcore was that everyone pretty much hated church and state. Every major hardcore band was blasted by evangelicals as the work of Satan. That churches have coopted this music makes me think we were right in the day, because to coopt punk rock to sell Jesus is pure evil.”
–Rock-promoter-turned-journalist Steven Blush in new documentary, AMERICAN HARDCORE AND THE U.S. VS. JOHN LENNON
