Popular Culture:Take a Little Time Out
Amy Grant's ever-smiling face is everywhere, obscuring the tragedy of
two failed marriages.
By Wendy Murray Zoba | 2/07/2000
I hear a dissonance in what I call "the Amy Grant situation." I open
my copy of TODAY'S CHRISTIAN WOMAN and there she is on the inside back
cover, captured in a moment of hilarity sitting cozily in front of a
fireplace, selling us her latest Christmas CD. I open MARRIAGE
PARTNERSHIP magazine ("marriage"/"partnership"--get it?) and there she
is on the inside front cover promoting her Christmas tour. I open a
catalog from a Christian retail chain, and there she is again--ever
smiling, ever promoted.
The Chicago Tribune (Dec. 11) described the "Amy Grant Christmas" tour
as "a wonderland of religious carols ... and a heaping portion of
vintage schmaltz."
