So, to really get into this Christian music scene, I think there are a few things I need to do. What are they, you ask? Well if any of you know the Reverend, and most of you do, you know I think in lists.
1. Keep reviewing CD's. I still have quite a list of music I want to check out. In fact, I just ordered a CD today off of Amazon. I'm going to check out the old stuff (Stryper!) as well as the new stuff (Casting Crowns, etc.). Not to mention up and coming artists (my homey's in Chasing Chariots).
2. Apparently, Cornerstone is the Christian music Mecca (like how I mince religions?). A special shout out to Steph for getting me hip to it. It's in Bushnell, IL (where?). Luckily, my beautiful assistant and girlfriend, Robyn, loves to travel and likes live music. So this little shin dig is a must.
3. I need to read this book (again, shout out to Steph). Rapture Ready: Adventures in the Parallel Universe of Christian Pop Culture. As the title states, it's an exploration into the world of Christian pop culture. From Christian music, to Bible and Creation museums, Christians books, and all things Christian media. I'll be getting this from my local library soon. I'll let you know when I'm done and will report back.
4. I'm tempted to watch that movie, Fireproof. No, I'm not married (I'm sure Robyn is happy to read that) but I'd like to see a Christian movie. I've heard people tell me about it (good message, bad acting). But I'd like to see it for myself. Pop the popcorn, Robyn! We got us a moo-vee to watch!
Whew! Sounds like a busy schedule! But I'm excited to check it out. Deep down in my heart, I know there has to be something in all this mess for me. You know, that CD I can keep in my glove box and not feel like a cheese ball for putting it into the stereo.
Did Robyn know this is what she signed up for when we started dating?
Rev.
