Christian music really needed Steve Taylor to save it from not only a piety overload, but also from a thought shortfall.
Unfortunately for Taylor, evangelicals' piety oftentimes overloaded their thought process. (Note: Jesus IS for losers.) And the biting satire of "I Blew Up the Clinic Real Good" was lost on every side of the abortion debate.
It sucks being a genius. But it's great that, years later, we can watch all that genius on YouTube.
