I Got The Answer


I'm currently 2/3 the way through the book Body Piercing Saved My Life: Inside The Phenomenon Of Christian Rock, by Andrew Beaujon, and I am LOVING IT! If you have yet to hear about this book, it is a look at the past 30 years of the genre of music entitled "Christian Rock". Sound awful? Here's the catch, the author isn't a Christian. He's a Spin Magazine editor that finds this subject intriguing and he writes about it in a way that one would write a travelogue about a distant and bizzare native society. He's not too smartalic, and he's not too "above" the music. This book has been so impressive thus far and I'm currently taking a break from reading it just so I could post about it. If you think I'm the Son of God or not, if you ever have been slightly somewhat interested in music that claims to be in My name, this is a must read.

That being said, this book has also reminded Me of the glory that is Larry Norman. Larry will forever be known as the Bob Dylan of Christian Folk Music. Since a lot of the blogs have been all ablazing with the new Dylan album, I thought some Larry Norman songs should be thrown into the mp3 blog pot as well. Larry is just about the best Christian folk rock musician to come around since King David, and with the exception of a Dylan album or two, nothing really compares to him in regards to singing folk rock songs about Me. Here's a few of My favorites.

Larry Norman - I Hope I'll See You In Heaven (solo and acoustic).mp3

Larry Norman - Why Don't You Look Into Jesus.mp3

Larry Norman - All The Way Home (solo and acoustic).mp3

Larry Norman - I Wish We'd All Been Ready.mp3

Larry Norman - The Outlaw.mp3

Larry Norman - Why Should The Devil Have All The Good Music.mp3

I just saw that Body Piercing Saved My Life book at Barnes & Noble and spent a good 15 minutes looking through it. It looked very, very interesting. Thanks for the Christian Dylan tracks :) - I liked DC Talk's version of "I Wish We'd All Been Ready." There, I said it.

any chance you can repost that mp3 of 'why should the devil have all the good music?'. i do a podcast and we're reviewing that movie on friday, i'd love to use that for the opening song.

on another note, i loved Body Piercing Saved My Life.
