Really liked your expose on the common origin of the Jesus Movement and the Satanic Church. Do you have any resources for further research, especially regarding the rise of the Pentecostal-Charismatic movement?

yeah, i've got some good sources you might want to check out- Calvary Chapel was a big deal in the Jesus Movement and they were connected to the Pentecostal-Charismatic movement. in particular i'd look into the life of the preacher lonnie frisbee, who basically created the blueprint for the whole jesus movement. most of the preachers at the forefront of the jesus movement were posers, trying to market themselves to young hippies but with no actual connection to the scene themselves. lonnie frisbee was different, he was actually a hippie, and actually an lsd user, and actually gay, and a frequent fixture of the local hippie/drug/gay scene in california. but one day while tripping on acid and reading the bible he had a vision in which he was leading some kind of mass religious movement across the country, and he decided to set out and try to make his vision a reality. meanwhile, pastor chuck smith was looking to find a way for his church, calvary chapel costa Mmesa, to reach out to those wayward hippie youth. these two people meet, and Things Start Happening, chuck smith puts lonnie frisbee front and center, putting him in a position to become a superstar preacher, and lonnie frisbee in turn puts calvary chapel on the map, pulling in a massive crowd of young people involved with the counterculture scene, and creating the blueprint that every jesus movement pastor (most of whom, again, were frauds with no connection to the hippie scene) was trying to emulate.

lonnie frisbee is in many ways a tragic figure because i think he genuinely did think he could create a kinder, better, more progressive form of christianity, but chuck smith, and other figures in the jesus movement like john wimber of vineyard, were just looking to use him to create the pretense of a more progressive form of christianity, but use this as a smokescreen for the same old right-wing reactionary fundamentalism. when lonnie latter contracted aids, calvalry chapel distanced themselves from him, and essentially left him to die, and today calvalry chapel and vineyard have basically written him out of their histories entirely. he was used and exploited to destroy the very counterculture he loved, and then left to die when he was no longer useful. anyways i recommend checking out this article in ocweekly [link], and also the related documentary "frisbee: the life and death of a hippie preacher"

OCBeerBLAB is Back!

I'm Back!

I feel like every blog needs to have some sort of stupid, “I’M BACK” post, or some fucking lame apology for lack of updates. Truth is, I’ve been busy pushing content on other sites, getting paid the “big bucks.” In case you missed it, I wrote over 250 articles at OCWeekly. I just crossed 300 on OrangeCoast! I wrote a bunch of words for The Full Pint! I’m still on the FourBrewers Podcast!  My…

[ARTICLE] Why K-Pop Boy Band Monsta X Connects with American Fans

Thanks largely to the group of the moment BTS, boy bands are back — or at least in the eyes of mainstream America. The truth is that, unlike in the West, pop groups continued to thrive steadily in South Korea since the ’90s even as the trend largely died down here. And after years of being a kind of underground, niche scene in the States, K-pop acts are regularly touring the country (and the world!) now more than ever.

Being the size of the area between Los Angeles and San Francisco, South Korea’s K-pop market is highly saturated. With hundreds of groups and soloists being active, K-pop acts often look towards overseas markets to expand their reach. More often than not, groups find more success outside of Korea than in their native country, and the U.S. is a hub for boy bands in particular.

One of the up-and-coming groups with a cemented fandom in America that has yet to become a household name in Korea is Monsta X. The seven-member ensemble came together as part of a competition show, where important figures in Korean entertainment like San E and Mad Clown judged and coached them in order to form the group. Making the final lineup, Shownu (real name Sohn Hyunwoo), Wonho (Lee Hoseok), Lee Minhyuk, Yoo Kihyun, Chae Hyungwon, Lee Jooheon, and I.M (Im Changkyun), Monsta X released their first EP Trespass on May of 2015. Just a couple of months later, the group had their first stateside performance at KCON LA in the Staples Center, where they opened up the show. “Everything was very, ‘Whoa so big;’ the stage was so huge. It was such a good opportunity for us,” said rapper I.M on a phone call from Seoul. “That was the first time I noticed [fans] really liked us. Now we’re getting bigger in the U.S. so we feel very thankful [towards the] fans.”

Monsta X has garnered a growing fan base, known as Monbebe, particularly in the States for their mix of EDM and hip-hop and their dark and sultry concepts. They also caught the public’s attention by displaying writing and producing chops since their days in the competition show and taking creative roles in their music. Though a growing trend nowadays, idols (what K-pop performers are known as in Korea) writing lyrics or being involved in production wasn’t commonplace just a few years ago, and they were often stigmatized for being inauthentic.

However, Monsta X didn’t have that problem. “Pitching our songs, choosing our songs, you know, good stuff is good stuff, so I think that’s the reason [why our company] picks up our songs,” the rapper explained, the only member fluent in English. I.M and Jooheon, who is also a rapper, pen their own verses on the group’s songs, and Wonho has composed a few of their album cuts. And though idols receive grueling training in dancing and singing, writing came natural to I.M. “I didn’t learn or have an education about writing lyrics or producing, I just did it for fun and thought people would like it.”
