David Bazan, and Christian Hipsters

Andrew Sullivan (or rather, his guest bloggers) has been doing this bit looking at Christian hipsters, but focusing mainly on music. Sufjan Stevens and Belle & Sebastian mention among them. Today, he posted about David Bazan (and posted an email I sent him).In any case, I'm not sure that David Bazan can really be considered Christian or Hipster. he's in his 30s, though he has the beard, and he doesn't really dress or act in the way you'd expect of a Hipster. And of course, he no longer identifies as Christian. Nevertheless, his legacy of piercing, honest music about God remains.
