(SOME MATERIAL MAY BE DISTURBING OR OFFENSIVE)
The first song this week I surely wanted to be a disc jockey when I was a teenager and I loved country music.
Rush Limbaugh had a vision of being a disc jockey when he was a teenager a decade before me and he went to a school in Dallas to get training needed to obtain the First Class Radiotelephone license needed to operate a radio station back in the late 1960's.
The test I took and passed in 1978 for a license (Third Class Radiotelephone with Broadcast Endorsement) was less complicated in its technical aspects.
Bill Anderson sang this song I heard on the radio in the 1970's about being a country music disc jockey...
"COUNTRY DJ"-BILL ANDERSON
"VIDEO KILLED THE RADIO STAR"-THE BUGGLES
"HIGHER POWER"-DARRELL MANSFIELD
Welcome aboard this attempt at media excellence some of the songs from the collection of three thousand.
Darrell Mansfield singing "Higher Power" I've been in places where the "Higher Power" is often referred to in the last 16 plus going on 17 years.
"Keep Coming Back"
That's one of the slogans you hear in those rooms I took that to heart and found light at the end of my tunnel.
In those rooms I met so many folks the gay, the transitioning, the lesbians not to mention Jews and even Buddhists and Muslims on occasion.
The list is many and varied Iranians and Israelis, the British, Irish, Poles and Russians. I met the soldiers, doctors, lawyers and even cops on occasion.
And some politicians heck I qualify as a "Recovering Politician".
But before I intoxicated myself I experienced pain in my life last Sunday in church I heard this message it starts at 41:40 into the video.
The pastor talking about "Radical Relationships" and restoration of relationship with Jesus my Higher Power...
THE HITCHENS BROTHERS THE LATE CHRISTOPHER KNOWN AS THE 'ATHEIST' PETER KNOWN AS THE 'CHRISTIAN' BOTH EXPRESSED PRO-LIFE OPINION ROOTED IN PERSONAL EXPERIENCE...
"Silenced Siblings: Peter and Christopher Hitchens on Abortion"
AS I SEE IT THIS IS THE 'WIRE SERVICE JOB' ONCE SUGGESTED TO ME
For those of you who know my story I once was a "student evangelist" and in those days I walked up to a man who had spoken at a conference between Christmas and New Years Day.
I asked him about what kind of career path I should take.
Noting my media-journalism education he suggested I get into the news wire services like the Associated Press.
He felt there was a need for "Christians" in the news business at that level since what wire services produced was widely disseminated to media all over the world.
That was decades before this new age of social media and video images that fuel the news.
But in the end, I see what has developed on this blog in the last 6-7 years news summaries six days a week amounts to a 'wire service' a 'news agency' in its own right.
THE 'CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT' VERSUS THE 'COMMUNIST MOVEMENT' VERSUS THE 'TRUMP MOVEMENT'
To get back to that conversation I had back in the early 1980's in the context of the Campus Crusade for Christ movement.
The man pointing me towards the wire services-news agencies like AP was concerned about the Leftist drift in such places.
Campus Crusade which has been watered down over the years now under the name "Cru" indeed was about a "Christian Movement" to counter the "Communist Movement" the kind of "Communist Movement" laid out in books like Herbert Philbrick's "I Led Three Lives".
The underground Communist movement IMHO played the long game and made major gains over the decades.
And as we see this latest electoral triumph for the "Trump Movement" and Donald Trump's desire to shake things up in Washington are there consequences for that "Communist Movement" that has gained in so many areas over the decades including the Evangelical Christian subculture.
I'll let Douglas Wilson have his say on this...
"STRAIGHT AHEAD"-AMY GRANT
"PUT YOUR HAND IN THE HAND"-OCEAN
"MAN IN BLACK"-JOHNNY CASH (LIVE IN DENMARK)
