If so, that's quite a clever tactic... Switchfoot is quite generic; perhaps they’re purposely trying to generate some contreversy to make themselves stand out? If so, that’s quite a clever tactic…

Mythgarr: I am not afraid (though Hostbaby might be). Bring it!

There's a perverse nobility in selling out...to make a living, to make a difference, to make a billion dollars and buy a giraffe farm. But there's really nothing noble about sounding like everything else on the radio these days. But then, how much can you reasonably expect from a band whose "big break" was playing soundtrack for a <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0281358/" rel="nofollow">Mandy Moore movie</a>....no matter how much they sound like Sting and The Police.
