Anybody care to answer my question, seriously? I have heard that some activities at "christian" rock festivals are as vile as those in the unsaved world.

I'm asking for honest evaluations from those attending.

Bob, I either attended Creation or worked there for eight years and even went to Cornerstone a couple of times.

All I can tell you is that my experiences there were overwhelmingly positive. In all of those years, I can only remember one incident involoving non-Christian gate crashers.

Other than that, the only trouble was by kids making too much noise too late at night and most people were very respectful when you bring thigs like that to their attention.

The only Creation I ever went to was Creation '89. I don't remember a whole lot of the bands that played-I do remember Michael W. Smith singing "Creation '89, We praise the Father of the great design", but the rest is a blur because I was in a drunken stupor. Just kidding, I caught sun sickness really bad and didn't enjoy the event too much. We pale skinned Irish red heads have the worst of it in the summer sun.

'89 was the year of the flood.

We always camped at the top of the hill so it didn't affect us but a lot of people had their campsites washed out.

An announcement was made asking campers who hadn't been hit by the flood to contribute something or allow the displaced campers to stay with them.

Everybody responded. They had extra bags, tents toiletries, etc. It was great to see Christians reach out to one another like that.

Thanks for the reports. Like everyone I hear of supposed excesses or evils, but thought why not ask folks who were there?

That's right Mike, I also remember someone got electricuted from swimming near a stage or something.Oh, and a really stupid band named "Shout" and their album was titled "In Your Face". And I think Carmen was there and did that boxing song.

I don't remember that they did have to cut short the 'Compassion All Star Band" show because the lightning was so bad.

I remember them. They were a hair metal band. "Hair metal" and "stupid" is a bt redundant, don't you think?

And I think Carmen was there and did that boxing song.

"The Champion". I remember that.
