For former fundies, it can also help with the healing process. When you've had your child-mind warped by scary songs liked "I Wish We'd all Been Ready" or when you've spent Sunday mornings swaying to "I'm a Pentecostal" or your dulcet tones were trained on "Saved by the Blood," it can help to start feeding your brain some alternatives.

I love the Beatles, don't get me wrong. Paul McCartney in concert is a religious experience. But I'm over Beatlemania. I want it to stop. Why now? A little thing called copyright.
