Gen X here. He did born-again when I was 15, lots of slick mush for a few years in the ‘80s (Infidels was good, though) and the two concerts I saw in college in the later 80s were lackadaisical. Yet, I was a patient fan and figured he would eventually make a comeback. Which he did in 1997.

These seem heavily edited. I will repost if I can get the unedited versions and make sure he said what it sounds like he said, in the context we are led to assume. I don’t like it when MAGA posts things out of context and I will not do that myself.

Similarly, as contemptible as Trump is, let’s stop referring to him as “thrice married” as if it’s a character flaw. I usually read it in the context of surprise at the level of support by Christian evangelicals, as if “we” wouldn’t consider two divorces to be a problem but “they” do, or should.
