dave matthews

Supposedly there has been some controversy over a recent Dave Matthews video. I happened to stumble upon the video (called "Eh Hee") on iTunes as it was a free download last week ... and I was disgusted. I'm disappointed that iTunes chose to offer it as a free download. Please don't watch it (the preview will suffice) - you will be disturbed not only by the "darkness" of the video, but also by the lyrics. Dave is trying to be clever, but he deliberately slams God and Christianity ... I thought about putting all the lyrics on here but I just don't want to ... he basically claims that the devil has more names than God and makes references to evolution like:

Strange evolution how people have come to believe
That we are it’s greatest achievement
We’re barely, we’re just a collection of cells
Overrating themselves
Hello God I’m avoiding the truth

Many are questioning whether the video is mocking a well-known YWAM drama called Marionettes. Most believe it is an obvious parody of the drama as he pretends to be a controlled marionette while singing about God, the devil and evolution. If it is a parody, I wonder how he was ever exposed to the drama. Maybe he secretly sneaks into YWAM events because he is so hungry for the Lord!! I was shocked by the final lyric of his song - Hello God I'm avoiding the truth - um, yes you are ... and you are admitting it. Interesting. Any thoughts?
