Eric is such a great guy, full of heart and soul. I remember sending him some of my poetry back when Legend came out, and I didn't put my name on the envelope. He replied and put "SM MYSTERY FAN" on his letter. Too funny. I don't remember what he said about the poetry, though. I really hope he and Jeff make a Saviour Machine III album one day. What's funny is that people who complained about SM's lyrics seem to forget what the Bible itself has in it. Not everything is going to be clean, puritan, and wholesome. Religion is full of dark imagery, and to ignore that isn't going to protect you. The light and the dark have to be seen and understood. I couldn't stand most Christian music back in the 90s, because it felt so fake and forced. Saviour Machine was real.
