Every year when we visit the orphanage we meet young Germans who work at there as a foreign social service alternative to the military. But this year there was also a recent college graduate from Milwaukee, Ramona, who volunteered to work there most of this year. She told us an Ohio heavy metal Christian rock band called "Pawn" was booked to play tonight at a festival in nearby Tecpan. Unfortunately, it was raining pretty heavily and we decided not to go.
We're not the only ones who've missed hearing Pawn.
Pawn's fate at the school assembly reminds me how "Jesus Christ" can't be said in a high school valedictorian speech unless it's uttered as a swear word and not a prayer.
