In LR there are only two types of songs that'll get you booked - and the other one involves trying to devise words that rhyme with "Deere", so the world of course assumes that Evanescence must therefore be "a Christian band, playing Christian songs for Godfearin' farm-dwellin' boys'n'gals". Not true now, never has been true, but nobody listens as the 'goth/religion' mix is good press. Of the original lineup, Amy was the least musically Christian of the bunch by a country mile (and in Arkansas, miles are longer.. or they seem to be when you're driving away from it). She was into Meat Loaf for chrissakes.. how satanic can you get? The man named himself after a loaf! Made of meat!
