Girl Talk’s detractors are always bemoaning the seeming pointlessness of attending one of his infamously high-energy concerts, citing the live Girl Talk sound as indistinguishable from that of his albums. Speaking from experience, I can say that such criticism is reasonably well founded. But luckily, the inverse of this purported drawback is also true.

...Randall Balmer, chairman of the religion department at New York's Barnard College, says that the Baylor angel figures are one in a periodic series of indications that "Americans live in an enchanted world," and engage in a kind of casual mysticism independent of established religious ritual, doctrine or theology. "There is," he says, a "much broader uncharted range of religious experience among the populace than we expect." Just possibly, Baylor has begun to chart...
