Oh Stryper. After my introduction to Christian Rock through Petra the next obvious (and only) choice was Stryper. Looking back I can only remember the yellow and black that was their trademark and I wonder, why did they want to look like giant bumblebees?!? Hahahahahaha! I have two very clear memories of Stryper music in my life. They are random and odd memories which is why I think they are worth sharing! :)
Honestly was Stryper's breakout song and so this was the one I listened to the most and liked the best, actually it may have been the only song of theirs that I did like. I have a vivid memory of folding laundry, when I was a kid, and listening to this song over and over and singing along with great...passion. Tee hee hee. My other memory has to do with the youth group romance. We all have 'em. I had a boyfriend in my youth group whose name escapes me BUT he was a die hard fan/groupie of Stryper. Like so much so that he, um er, dressed like them. Oh yes, yes he did and yes I associated myself with him. AHAHAHAHAHAHA! He loved Stryper. There was none other in his world. His love of Stryper, in retrospect, bordered on obsession I'm thinkin'. Sheesh, honestly? :)
