The National Concert
Yes, I recognize this concert happened a long time ago. But holy smokes, this is a great band. There’s a real grace and spirituality in each of their song.
Here’s the thing: I recognize that Christian rock is supposed to bring grace and peace, but it’s often cheap, sentimental, trite. Whereas real art, I don’t know, it connects us to something larger than ourselves, or at least the sense of it. The National is art. And it’s great.
