Getting i on Music

I saw this on Facebook earlier today but didn’t take the time to watch it until my pal Jeff emailed a link to me. It’s definitely worth 7 minutes of your time.

See, this is what happens when geeks are allowed into worship bands. The next thing you know, we’ll have rappers doing the preaching. Oh, wait…

The times, they are a’changing, and with it, a lot of terminology. If this trend continues, will we begin to see:

  • cool guys trying to pick up girls with the line, “I’m the lead iPhoneist for ________”?
  • marching bands lining up with an iPad line?
  • iPhones providing musical accompaniment in Church of Christ worship services? (“It’s not an instrument, it’s a phone.”)
  • an updated version of The Message where Psalm 33:2 reads Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the iPod touch.
  • adolescent boys kicking the doorstep and giving the excuse that they can’t come play baseball because they have to “practice the stupid iPad”?

I started to Photoshop an iPad onto the body of a guitar for this post, but, of course, somebody already beat me to it…and it’s an actual functioning instrument.

Oh, I almost forgot. If you want details on the apps used in this performance, check this out.
