I pulled myself away from deadline to see a show by a Christian alternative rock legend — Terry Taylor. The guy is touring solo with acoustic guitar, Steve Hindalong on drums, and Terry’s son on bass.
My favorite anecdote from the night. As he was introducing the song “Bibleland,” he talked about this older man that built a “theological response to the Happiest Place on Earth (Disneyland).” He dryly said, “You know, it’d be real easy to ridicule and mock the man,” and he paused for effect. The point he was about to make was poignant. But he said, “which I’m about to do in the next song…”
🙂
He talked about how the man, who is probably long gone by now, did this Christian/biblical themepark in Southern California out of faith. Terry mentioned how, “without faith, it’s impossible to please God,” and he mentioned that, with his measure of faith, this man might have pleased God with this park.
I’ll try to add more later…(as time allows)
