Die Hard with a Vengeance

[rileycpo]

I grew up int he 80's when "Christian" music was basically just getting started. Folks like Phil Keaggy,Petra, esurrection Band and Leslie Phillips were all new then. The music was about redemption and really heart felt words of love to Jesus. Being burned is nothing to new to Believer. It is sad to see Leslie Phillips writting songs like this. To those who only know Sam I say Sorry. But early Christian music was amazing. Every time it rains by Rez or As warm as tears by Phil created worship

This song appeared in one scene in Melrose Place season 3 with Sidney choosing this song in a jukebox in Shooters before Janes's boyfriend tried to rape her. I love the entire Melrose Place the album

From 18 years ago, yet it sounds like it came out yesterday. Heard this on the radio and thought it was a new song. Clearly, Sam and I have some catching up to do. Also a great video, although the topical media imagery is now dated.

Outstanding track - and it sounds just like I heard it on WFMU recently. she is an underrated talent. Interesting possible segue: into the Beatles' "Within You, Without You." (Wish I was still on the radio - I'd do that one on the air....)

[Galantski]

- Thanks, I stand corrected. I noticed Jerry Falwell in the rather strange video, but missed Rush. I Googled to find out more, but only saw where she'd dedicated to Limbaugh (no mention of it as "political" per se, but that is Rush's bread-and-butter, and with the C.S. Lewis quote at the end it makes sense in connection).

I wouldn't have given her another thought but I saw Die Hard a few nights ago and got to thinking. Critical raves don't amount to much if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it. How many copies did Fan Dance sell, about 20? Ditto for A Boot and a Shoe and whatever her latest was called. She's not an influential artist nor a relatively important one, so there's not much more to discuss in regards to her.

-- Ooohh, why such a "Grumpy Gus"? As a recording artist, she's been getting critical raves since she changed to "Sam"...and as far has having "no audience at all" -- YOU'RE her audience, someone looking (and successfully finding) her music & videos -- ain't that just so "ironical"?
