Chalk up one more for the Geezer Patrol... I'm the same age as Per, 40, and got into Opeth through Porcupine Tree and unrelenting peer pressure from some of my fellow musician buds around the time Ghost Reveries was released.
As for religion... meh... just call me a very skeptical agnostic and leave it at that. I stop just short of claiming full-on atheism because after all, who actually wants to believe that when they die, all that happens next is becoming a messy, moldering meat-mound-below-ground? That said, all the organized sects of religion in the world are so full of holes, self-contradictions and non-reality mumbo-pocus that you really, seriously have to want it to be able to swallow all that dogma, but if you can and do, more power to ya... hell, (pardon the pun) truth be told, I'm actually kind of envious, but please keep it to yourself, 'K? Thanks!
And don't let Doucheke fool ya, he's no atheist! He's actually High Priest of the Temple of the Great Phallic Banana Ghost. Marcus Miller told me so!
