After my
discussion with Jake and much deliberation, I decided this would be the
mix tape I would create for the
Son of God:
- Jesus Built My Hotrod - Ministry
- So Fresh, So Clean - Outkast
- Down On My Knees - The Crucifucks
- The Man Comes Around - Johnny Cash
- Kill The Poor - Dead Kennedys
- Holy Diver - Dio
- When I Get To Heaven - Ice Cube
- Killing in the Name Of - Rage Against the Machine
- Sister Christian - Night Ranger
- Sympathy For The Devil - Rolling Stones
- If You Love Someone Set Them On Fire - Dead Milkmen
- Epiphany - Bad Religion
- Something To Believe In - Poison
I know
Jesus was a subversive hippy and would probably enjoy some Grateful Dead, Phish, Widespread Panic and Cat Stevens, but that is not the point. The purpose of the mix tape is not just to throw on a bunch of music that the recipient likes and is familiar with. Making a mix tape for someone is the ultimate truth; it strips down all the walls society builds up around human relationships and then rebuilds them through the majesty of song. That, and if you give a mix tape to girl hopefully it will get you laid.
