I haven’t sent it to the printer yet, but I’ve made a slight modification to the cover of God’s Not Dead (And Neither Are We) to make it clear that is the book’s full title. Let me know what . . . → Read More: Slight Book Cover Modification

Busy Day

By Jerry Wilson, on September 10th, 2009%

And a fun one as well. This afternoon I was a guest on “Talk From The Heart” hosted by Rich Buhler on KBRT in Los Angeles, talking about the book and the era in Christian music it discusses. Tonight I saw Collective Soul in concert. Terrific show; I’ll go into depth on it in a couple . . . → Read More: Busy Day

Who Will Be My Friend?

By Jerry Wilson, on August 27th, 2009%

In the course of beginning the work for the next book, I’m rediscovering the music from the artists who’ll be included. One of them is Andy Pratt. If the name is unfamiliar, an introduction is in order.

As I mentioned in the afterword to God’s Not Dead (And Neither Are We), it was 1972 when I first . . . → Read More: Who Will Be My Friend?

By Jerry Wilson, on August 19th, 2009%

Earlier this evening I had the privilege of interviewing Bob Bennett for the new book. He has long been a favorite fellow folkie of mine, and as I had anticipated a delight to converse with.

As I mentioned a few days ago, it’s been pressed on my heart to orient the next book toward the ’70s in . . . → Read More: Making A Bit Of Progress (While Finding Shelter From The Storm)

So Obvious Even I Get It

By Jerry Wilson, on August 17th, 2009%

I’m a guy. Therefore, certain things are a given.

I have to have control of the remote. I have to do any and all barbecuing, while doing so fantasizing I’m cooking the wooly mammoth brought in fresh from the hunt. These are guy things.

Another guy thing? Forget subtlety. If you want to tell a guy something — . . . → Read More: So Obvious Even I Get It

Some Nights I’d Rather Listen To White Heart, Thanks

By Jerry Wilson, on August 8th, 2009%

Something I’ve been working on over the years is the practice of being less judgmental toward and more accepting of other believers where they are in life. I’m not there yet; it’s a work in progress.

A little background. Back in my active Christian music journalist days, I was quite the Christian rock snob. I’d sit in . . . → Read More: Some Nights I’d Rather Listen To White Heart, Thanks

“Sort of makes you want to treat me with more respect, doesn’t it?”

By Jerry Wilson, on July 19th, 2009%

I can’t find the exact Peanuts comic strip online, but there is one in which Charlie Brown remonstrates with Patty calling Pigpen a mess by musing about how he could be carrying the soil of ancient civilizations. Pigpen responds to it all by saying to Patty, “Sort of makes you want to treat me with more . . . → Read More: “Sort of makes you want to treat me with more respect, doesn’t it?”

By Jerry Wilson, on July 15th, 2009%

Short but sweet column for the Examiner tonight, talking about the contemporary Christian heritage of the East Bay and the San Francisco Bay area in general. Tomorrow I’ll expand on the theme by looking at the work Terry Taylor did up here before moving to SoCal and eventually starting . . . → Read More: Discussing The Heritage
