An article was recently posted (fall '97) in HomeLife Magazine, a Christian magazine by HomeLife Press concerning Trent Reznor. This info is provided by Acid Angel. Every month, the magazine has a "prayer focus artist". Guess who their prayer focus artist was?

"When he's not busy as the lead singer of the multi-million selling alternative act Nine Inch Nails, 31-year-old Trent Reznor plays the role of produce for bands such as the controversial Marilyn Manson. With millions of fans snapping up his records around the world, you'd think Reznor would be a happy, contented man. He's not. In an interview earlier this year, Reznor described the hole he feels in his soul:

'Like I always thought, "Man if I could ever be a rock star..." Some stupid [profanity deleted] naive dream, and then you get it and... I've been at my lowest point, and I'm not just saying this; it didn't work, man. I mean, my job is... I wake up and make music and work with people I respect, and David Bowie will take my call, so why... do I want to kill myself, you know?' He concludes, 'I'm on a [profanity deleted] path to self destruction.'

This revealing interview brings to mind the words of Christ in Luke 9:25, 'What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet lose or forfeit his very self?' This month, pray that the restlessness Trent Reznor is experiencing will drive him to the peace that's found only through Jesus."

Hehe, that's pretty amusing. =)
