Another Circus Coming To South Philly

Ringling Brothers isn't the only circus that's taking place at the sports complex in South Philly. On May 12-13, a Christian music rally called Battlecry will be at the Wachovia Spectrum.

Now, a Christian music rally is scary for two reasons: One, of course, is that it's Christian music. When you're trying to think of good Christian music and you're only coming up with a couple Christmas songs and that cool song we sung at my Confirmation, it's a pretty frightening event. (Although, of course, this is still a million times better than the circus.)

The group is run by a bunch of evangelical Christians who have the usual strange "War on Christians" fears, when in fact the entire country is pretty danged Christian -- see: "The War on Christmas" -- and they also (2) attack the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. So color me a little skeptical, although the motives behind the event are probably good and chaste.

Oh, and, uhh, it's called "Battle Cry." That's very Christian, I suppose.
