News has broke that DC Talk and Newsboys front person has confessed to a whole heap of bad stuff.

Just makes me sad…that is all. Loved DC Talk. Fantastic music, lyrics and heart to their music.

Newsboys….especially prior to Michael, was formative in my early christian years. An old girlfriend had a tape from this Aussie band…’Hell is for wimps’. Played it and played it. Thats before they got huge. Conquered America and the CCM market.

Strangely enough my favourite song was ‘Breakfast Club’. For the irreverent take on serious issues…with a killer bass line. The Newsboys took their faith and music seriously, but not themselves too seriously.

Of course now in America they have been a huge band, selling out stadiums.

What do we do with the early DC Talk music? Do we try and erase it from our memories? It is a bit sad for me when I put it on, or think about it.

It is not about how you start, or how you are doing, but how you finish.

God is good Michael, and Psalm 51 is a great place to start. And it is good he is not hiding.

But…for a fan like me…it is sad.
