Dave W:
That was dreadful.
Alanko:
All that lead in the fuel, paint and water pipes had a profound impact on people back then.

Sure it's corny but that guy got a pretty good tone from his EB-0. It stood right out in that big mix of singers and instruments.

And creepy. There is nothing more unsettling than ordained joy and happiness. It reminded me of The Book of Mormon musical somehow ... and lool & behold:
The creators of The Book of Mormon, a musical that satirizes the latter-day saint movement, cited Up with People as an inspiration for the cartoonishly joyous style of several of the songs in their musical performance, which sends up the clean-cut image of Mormon culture.
Pilgrim:
Uwe, you put words to something I've felt for a long time. It's very creepy indeed when people are forced or intimidated "group thinked" into performance. I've never trusted it, and that's one reason I tend to shrink from musical performance at churches or religious ceremonies. It's too close to a form of propaganda. But I do attend the Christmas concert at a church when a number of my friends play in the band, as it's sufficiently non-specific-dominational enough for me to enjoy it.
