No no no, Theo is not a slob at all. He uses a napkin and a knife and fork.
He's a gracious man - I'll ask him about the song. I had just assumed it would be a good fit, but he may feel that as he already has two songs ...
I could ask BD to use the Arthur Fhardi song with Me, Theo and Wes

"I hate anything that sells Christ."
Interesting statement, whoring for Jesus. Funny how as Christians we want nothing to do with anything even remotely supporting or spreading the message of Christ's love.
If it was so easy for hacks to get signed to a "Christian" label maybe your band if you had one could get on a label. I'll admit to being disgusted with much of the music, mainly because I don't like it, not because it's Christian or follows the fads of secular music. Guess what kiddies, secular music follows the fads of secular music. How many boy bands were polluting the airwaves a couple of years ago.
As to the collective known as CCM, it's an unfortunate label, since businesses and things cannot be Christian. They can be run by Christians, but a business makes money. Pure and simple. I've enjoyed countless Christian bands whose message is earnest.
Anyone else remember the Praise Strings? That was the ick of CCM back in the early 80's. Well, now it's the worship stuff. Some of my favourites aren't immune either. Kaiser, Hindalong, Mike Roe, etc have all done their take on worship too. Are they bad for following, or creative for a new spin on an old horse?
Selling Christ? You bet, we should all be selling Christ.
This is more about Ministry / Entertainment. If you're a minister you don't charge to go to church. If you entertain you do.
I've been ministered to seeing The Dogs live, but I paid to see 'em. Who was the Christ Whore then? Me I guess cause I paid the money.
They have a gift, and a message, and they charge for it. Good. Good for them.
What do you do for a living that you don't charge for?
Hats off to DA for making the Hall of Fame, which in of itself is an unChristian concept. "For in my house there are many rooms... " So DA gets to sit in the hall. Not very Charitable.
Of course, it's not cool to be an ordinary Christian who likes some Christian music, and not others. We should hate all CCM. Kill 'em all and let God sort em out in the great delete bin in the sky.
Last I heard Bride wasn't CCM either ... I guess their "Christian" label would be surprised. Last time I checked in a "record" store they'd never heard of them ... but my local bookstore has. Hmmm.
Blah blah blah.
There's no winning this one. It'd be better for all concerned if Michael English got Sandy Patti pregnant and encouraged her to have an abortion. Then we could argue about whether or not their back catalog is still CCM?

I refuse to use Paste. I prefer to use products without animal by-products.

Hmmm. I guess I have to go, face the horror of US Immigration and go see the lads. It's only fair as they're comin' up through Canada Customs the day before.

Bax, will you be there in person? It may be worth going out of town just to meet more of the gang.
Theo and I have broken wind together, well I broke wind and extended the invitation to him to "breathe deep"
Hmm. Where was I?

Speaking as myself "Jevon" I would support such a plan. In the past any confusion or irritation over the pre-order product has come from either a lack of clear information which often led to unrealistic, or uninformed expectations.
I believe that if the scope is clearly defined, and the money requested up front will have a definite payoff for the investor (customer) then all sides win.
The extra bonus of being featured in credits while appealing to ego, is not necessary.
There are a number of project and business savy type on the board, not to mention the front office with JT who could vet the requirements prior to asking for funds to ensure that the DA store is covered and that the fans coming up with the cash know realistically what they're up for.
The weirdness would come if there's a shortfall in expected money, but that would just mean a longer wait, not that it's gone. I could live with that so long as their is personal communication between all parties.
In short, rock on lads and where do I send my money? Do it soon, cause the Canadian dollar is trading high lately.
Sincerely,
Jevon
