Fame can be a fleeting experience, especially in America's modern pop culture. The popularity of bands can come and go very quickly, but many work hard to hold on to whatever they can salvage. Sometimes, that means drastic changes in venues and even in lyrics.

According to Lark News:

For years, bands like Air Supply and REO Speedwagon plied the county fair circuit, playing old hits and trying to pump up dwindling audiences. But as competition for county fair slots increases, and older bands fade further into the past, more are finding success playing churches, youth conventions, even acoustic sets at prayer gatherings.

Like most bands, they [Foreigner] hope to re-capture the excitement of playing for an adoring crowd, though church tours lack the perquisites of stardom, like opening acts and elaborate spreads of food. The pastor or youth pastor usually introduces the band. Lighting and sound can be iffy, but bands use their arena-rock skills to keep the energy level up, kicking their legs into the air, jumping around the platform, clutching their hearts during ballads.

Bands have experienced a "church bounce" as album sales creep up the back-catalog charts. And with more bands re-uniting to exploit the trend, marketspace is getting squeezed. "We tried to book a Presbyterian church in Buffalo for Fourth of July, but they'd already booked Mr. Mister," says Air Supply's Russell "I guess the secret is out."

This is satire, by the way — none of the story is true, but it is quite funny. Go read the whole thing!
