I was pleased to see the Newsboys<\/a> have got a new CD coming out. It’s called Born Again<\/cite> and (“for a limited time”) it’s a bargain at $6.49. It’s actually a better bargain than that, because buying it now<\/a> gives you a download of a pre-release EP. So go do that.<\/p>\n

I’ve been listening to them since 1994 or ’95. I saw them on their Going Public<\/a><\/cite> tour in a huge barn at the State Fairgrounds in Salem, Oregon, when they headlined a show that also featured Audio Adrenaline<\/a> and Tony Vincent<\/a>. That was the end of the small time for them, though. The very next year, they hit the big time with Take Me to Your Leader<\/a><\/cite> and sold out the Rose Garden<\/a> in Portland. (I went as a “chaperone” (I guess) with a group of youth from my church<\/a>, and I remember being disgusted that I was exactly double the age of the kids.)<\/p>\n

A glance at the cover of the new CD told me there was news about the Newboys that I didn’t know, so I popped over to Wikipedia<\/a> and caught up with them. There’s all kinds of things I didn’t know. The most obvious thing is that instead of six Australians they now have 4 people, and they aren’t all Australians. The lead singer, for example, is Michael Tait<\/a>, formerly of dc Talk<\/a>. The times are a-changin’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
