DC TALK - My friend So Long

If you look at this song literally, this song is about a fictional ex- fourth member of DC Talk. This song is most defintately not predicting Micheal Jackson's death, but when you look at it metaphorically, relatively refers to his life and the many lives of secular musicians. It refers to people who decide to live a good life now instead of later in heaven with Jesus. It seems like a good decision now, but will hurt you in the long run.

haha, you wont believe how long its taken me to find this song!

I've watched this video a few times and one question kept coming to my mind, how did they get so many people to come and help out?

this video came out when i was in JUNIOR HIGH!! the song was released in 1998 (dctalk were way ahead of their time musically...i thought they were so heavy back then, but i don't consider this heavy now)

...im sorry, but I don't think they can tell the future of michael jackson's death, it was over 10 years ago. its got a message to maybe some other person who they knew in the industry who died.

...the song always confused me though if they believed in once saved always saved doctrine or not.

As far as the last half of your comment goes, you may be correct, I honestly do not know. However this video has nothing to do with Michael Jackson. The "guys with the hollywood glasses" are (and if you look closely all three band members become/are that guy) supposed to be a fourth member of the band who left DC Talk for riches and fame in a secular career. Nothing more, nothing less.

No way...bands like The 77s and The Choir blow bands like dc Talk and Third Day out of the water. Kevin from dc Talk would even confirm this. Third Day are boring, nothing more than a derivative of Hootie and the Blowfish.

Man, that's beautiful! Kevin Max is one of the best singers ever!!!!!! And what an awesome combination DC Talk truly is.

That used too be true...not anymore...Switchfoot, Jars of Clay and then the hard rock side of the house they are usually better then many mainstream bands: Demon Hunter, Project 96, Red...to name a few....

true, but it's project 86

Have you ever heard the newsboys ? If you have not, then you should ! They're awesome =D
