I've come across several recent quotes from young "music fans" to the effect that they have no intention of sitting around watching anyone who does nothing except perform music. I was taken off guard a little more by a middle-aged woman newspaper columnist a couple of days ago. Britney Spears appeared on some award show or another, and the columnist mentioned nothing whatever except that Britney's dancing was lackluster.
Having said that, I think I've drifted at least a little from what
Wesley was really dealing with. Actually I think I've seen more close parallels to what he mentioned in preaching, rather than music. We're not pentacostal members, or in those circles; but every so often I encounter a preacher who really makes me wonder if he (or she) has chugged too many diet pills too fast.
