Good article on Sufjan Stevens over at the Village Voice.
Regarding why he's taken to dodging questions about his Christianity: "I don't think music media is the real forum for theological discussions," says Stevens. "I think I've said things and sung about things that probably weren't appropriate for this kind of forum. And I just feel like it's not my work or my place to be making claims and statements, because I often think it's misunderstood."
Fair enough, Suffie. Keep writing songs as beautiful as "The Transfiguration" or "Seven Swans" and I'll keep not giving a damn that you're singing of fairy tales that you believe in. I allow Tori Amos her faerie beliefs too.
