I didn't mean that he was uninformed about what he was saying happened, I
meant he was uninformed about what the band was about, calling them holy
rollers and saying they couldn't rock and roll. Though they certainly wrote
lyrics with a spiritual slant to them, they didn't wear their Christianity
on their sleeve like bands in the Christian Rock scene usually do. They
never claimed to be a Christian rock band. To paint them as holy rollers who
only invited SK to tour with them because they misinterpreted one of their
songs as being a nice Christian song is ludicrous, and that's what I meant
by uninformed.

p.s. According to an interview with Doug I read somewhere he said he has
been stoned during the recording of every album, and every concert he had
ever done. So I don't think the weed thing is a new development;)
