Several years ago a college in Colorado made a study of the effects of music on plants. Plants exposed to beautiful, soothing music thrived and turned toward the speaker. In an otherwise identical environment, another group of the same type of plant was exposed to acid rock. Those plants turned away from the speaker and within three days had shriveled and died. Further experimentation proved that the sound waves of the rock music had actually destroyed the plants’ cells.You can check out the results of Round 1 of "Book, Hyles, or CCM" here.

One Game Ends. Another Begins.
Here's a fun one for the quote game. No Googling!
Frank Garlock
ReplyDeleteThat is incorrect.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, thanks for playing.
Scott Aniol? Matt Herbster? This was first published in the SI forums, right?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I might have seen buckeye this am - if he's who I think he be
No, no, and no. Scott actually finds this argumentation weak, if I recall correctly. I can't remember how Matt makes his case. And as for the SI forums, well, the author of this quote knows how to spell, use punctuation, and say something without getting into a KJV debate.
ReplyDeleteBy the way bookpress, only one guess per comment. Try to be a little more deliberate about this. It's one of the marks of a healthy post.
You may well have seen him if he's who I think he be, and you're who I think you be.
I really hope you all check back in when the answer is revealed.
David Benoit :)

ReplyDeleteNot this one

Oh, Benoit is a good guess. He came to my church when I was in Jr. High to tell us about backmasking. Of course, he had to preach in the gym since he played rock music and that wasn't permitted in the sancturay . . .

ReplyDeleteNot Benoit or Makujina.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Benoit, actually. I'm going to have to check him out.
Do we need hints?
You're a tricky guy, Ben Wright.
ReplyDeleteIt's Bill Gaither!!!!
Oh, so confident . . .
ReplyDelete. . . and yet SO WRONG!
At least I can tell no one's cheating with Google.
Frankly, there has only been one guess that even has a similar occupation to the correct answer.
here's maybe an educated (informed) stab, without googling!
ReplyDeleteJMac...
Audio Adrenaline... jk
ReplyDeleteC'mon, Brandon. John MacArthur never could have said that . . .
ReplyDelete. . . oops.
(The precise quote is taken from his Ephesians commentary.)

ReplyDeleteI was wondering if that's what you were after, Ben. I found the same quote yesterday...by Googling. (I'm so ashamed.) It made me grin to think of people busting the chops of fundy's over it, just to have their days ruined to find out it was...HIM!!! :-)
