No way! next thing you're gonna tell me is that Tom Cruise is a Scientologist...
- blastofv0
I found that out a week or so back, and the new album iremains awesome. I'm listening to it right now.
All Scientology aside, he's one of the only unique musicians out there today (mainstream anyway).
- t_rock0
yeah, great music, but now it just sits there that he's all kooked out in the cult of COS...
- saroose0
yeah I read that in the newspaper recently. I was surprised but I still likes him
*notice i mentioned that I can read and I read the newspaper at that! How smart am I.

why worry about him being a scientologist...it doesn't really hurt anything...
- t_rock0
no? hurt? maybe not hurt people, but the fact that they actively prey on people under the guise of "helping" them doesn't sit well with me. After 9/11 they set up "healing centers" and sent "ministers" out to the families of the victims in the hopes of recruiting them. They are a bit freakish no?

word
makes no diff to me... but it adds a whole new level of crazy to the Beck pile of craziness
I'll buy his next album too
- tfsmag0
wait your business partner is a freaky scientologist or beck is?
- blastofv0
definitely friekish, but then again, what organized religion isn't friekish when you sit back and really look at it
the scientology creation myth is pretty nuts... alien warlords banishing their people to prehistoric earth, burying their spaceships in volcanos, then detonating H bombs... releasing their confused souls, which then took up residence in human bodies.
yikes
- QuincyArcher0
well...that's true t_rock...
i guess all i'm saying is that it doesn't really hurt anything that beck is a scientologist. I find that religion distastful...but that's not going to stop me from liking his music...
it's just not the kind of thing that should be called to mind.
- t_rock0
true q.a. It's not going to stop me from listening to him... but now I have this crazy image of him jumping on Oprah's couch and screaming "I love you Britney" for some reason... pumping fists and all... maybe a 80's throwback moonwalk with a skinny blazer just for that Beck effect...
- jpolk0
eh, he's just become aa parody of his former sefl anyway...

the scientology myths are no crazier than some dude saying that a burning tree told him to save his people then parted the sea to escape or some long hair dude walking on water while turning water to wine and manifesting fish.

If you read up on Scientology, it seems like a religion that was founded by Beck. Read up on it at wikipedia.
Maybe it's all a joke.
- -sputnik-0
beck's groovy regardless.
you have to love a bunch of people who follow a "religion" so vehemently...especially one made up by a sci fi writer as a joke.
hahaha!

couldn't agree more spendogg

I just love how 1970's the scientology creation story is.
take the 'sci-fi' equivalent pop-culture from 2000 years ago in the middle east and you've got the Christian creation myth
4-6 (?) thousand years back, same deal with the egyptians
a thousand years ago, same deal with the Mayan culture
it's the same sh** over and over again
