‘Sonny Sandoval Day’ in San Diego to honor P.O.D. singer

Sonny Sandoval, the lead vocalist of the rock band P.O.D., received a special honor from the City of San Diego this week.
The City of San Diego declared June 23, 2023 to be Sonny Sandoval Day, local officials announced during a city council meeting Tuesday.
“Sonny Sandoval is a musician, songwriter, philanthropist, who has never forgotten his roots as a south San Diego native,” a city council representative said. “His first major label hit was titled ‘Southtown,’ proudly proclaiming his love for the 92154 region. His love for the region didn’t stop there, as he shot the music video showcasing the community of 92154. This ended up becoming an MTV #1 hit.”

The Rasta with a sprinkle of Jesus band.

About as Christian as U2 (more or less). 

The more fame and success, the further away from the gospel influence. 

King’s X is an exception. They never had major success and they still fell away.

I know that U2 was never a Christian band per se… 

But their early albums did promote Jesus.

Same with King’s X.

I saw POD pretty early on and they were mixing Rastafarian belief in their message. I was confused why everyone was labeling them Christian.

I remember their first 2 releases before they became known (Snuff the Punk and Brown) were pretty Christian lyrically.

Rastafarian belief

Doesn't that involve weed smoking?
