Band Biographies

I love band biographies. My interest in a band generally starts with an album purchase, usually whatever album is recommended to me as the best starting place for that band. If I really dig the album, I’ll research a little further and buy one to two more albums. If my interest with the [...]

Detroit Rock Recession City

The Tigers are over .500 (for the time being), all is well…or at least all should be well.  The fact that the Motor City Kitties are number one in the [measly] AL Central and that the Red Wings are in the NHL Western Semifinals are simply not enough to pick up the pieces in Detroit, [...]

God’s Body

Remember when NASA ended up proving the Bible was true by finding “the lost day” described in Joshua?  Well now they’re providing us with pictures of the almighty from space.  Here’s God’s hand (they may not have called it that, but only because they don’t want to lose their federal funding from the LIBERAL godless [...]

Led To Worship?

In preparation for Easter Sunday a friend of mine invited me to a gathering of people that intended to prepare for the celebration by focusing on the pain of Good Friday and the emptiness of Holy Saturday as a means to fully appreciate the joy of Sunday.  He sent the invitation through evite and used [...]
