I know I was probably doing some immature by playing a classic rock song in church, but there's something about the whole interaction that's really demotivating to me.
Sorry about you having to deal with this Eric, but some people are "offense sensitive" and looking for a reason to complain. I know classic rock and church doesn't always go together, but if it's after the service and everybody's pretty much gone, I see nothing wrong with hitting a familiar riff or two. Sometimes it actually helps you connect with someone who might otherwise not get too worked up about your praise song music. I've seen it happen first hand.
And Brian, I honked, but I was going so fast, you probably didn't hear it! LOL
Now, that's not saying you should tear out into some heavy death metal, but like the old Brill Cream commercials used to say, "a little dab will do you."
