It mostly has a good influence on me. I like both christian and non christian. ok, mostly non-christian but i like the older kind of music, classic rock and a lot of 80's, 70's, and even 60's. all right a lot of 60's. the beatles rock.and i like country. i like a few newer bands but not a lot. they mostly calm me. i don't really read too much into the lyrics, i know there are some drugs references but i just listen to the music and relax. The who was awesome at the superbowl half-time. I think the way music can influence you depends on how you interpret the music and how you let it affect you. I think non-christian music can be good influences unless it's a lot of bad rap, metal, and even some country. allen jackson's it's 5 oclock somewhere comes to mind.
