Too bad Remy Zero
Recent trips the movies and local video stores lately have brought to my attention that the world no longer wants a hero. We’ve done our best to pull superman down by his red cape, batman by his pointy ears and Spiderman by his web. We take the hero’s of yesterday and try to plant evidence of corrupt moral indiscretions so as to point our collective fingers and say, “AHA! You are just like the rest of us.” And by and large it has worked. There are no longer heroes to look up to. In fact, you have a greater chance in today’s pop culture to evolve into a Hero then you have to be saved by one of yore. I bring this to light not to blow some corporate whistle on Hollywood (of whom systematic destruction of the classics is a minor offense in comparison), but it is to serve as a reminder that it is a healthy exercise to observe the change in society. We are not going to wake up one morning and find the world different like an overnight blanketing of snow. The only measure to see how far bent the world is today is to compare it to how straight God’s word says it should be.
Side Note: Remy Zero sings the theme song for Smallville, "Save Me."
