Tim: One of my biggest peeves with CCM is this absurd tendency to take any popular song and record it seventeen different ways, all playing on the air at once. Remakes of songs that are still in first run is just weird. Everybody and their second cousin seems to want to record the latest big “praise and worship” hit, in almost identical arrangements. What on earth is the point of that? If it sounds the same, why bother? Except to collect a bit of change, of course.

Combine that with The Prayer of Jabez for the Left-Handed, Red-Headed, Oversexed Teenager, Study Guide Edition (with VHS Video), and it sure doesn’t seem to me that the Christian entrepreneurial spirit is lacking.
