One of the most recent artists I’ve been introduced to and loved is Derek Webb. He has a new album, and a graphic novel, coming out entitled “The Ringing Bell” that you can pre-order. If you visit the site you can listen to the album in streaming format and preview the images that appear in the accompanying book. I like the graphic quality of the images. Very stark, strong lines and bold colors. Pretty much black, white and red. His lyrics are very powerful and by the titles of the songs on this album, I’m sure there’s going to be some really challenging messages beingRead More →

I know, I know Bono is now promoting AIDS relief by selling candy-apple red iPods, a portion of which will be given to help fight AIDS in Africa.

What I’m more interested in discussing now though is the what U2 and Bono are doing to promote Christianity. It’s been awhile since I’ve posted about mainstream artists being overtly or covertly Christian and those were quite active posts. I just read a great paper that’s available on The Thoughtful Christian website entitled “The Music and MessageRead More →
