Now thats really cool

[beholdtheson]

I loved interviewing him, such a class act!!

[bubba007sss]

I seen Petra in Mount union Pa. for the first time years back and I heard bad things about Christian Rock.. I got to see Mylon and Broken Heart in concert, but after watching both groups I realized the bad rap Christian rock was getting was all wrong. Josh" McDowell was clean up crew for Petra, I believe they traveled together if my memory serves me correctly. And I seen the band Broken Heart stay up until three in the morning witnessing until the last one was witnessed to, very moving.

And thank you so much for remembering me in this one. :) Petra and his solo stuff got me through adolescence and still gets me through in my adulthood. Couldn't live without those CD's...... and cassettes. ;)

HI RUUUUBEN!!!!! :- D Tara here. Watching this again. This is SO COOL!!!! Thanks for posting this!

[beholdtheson]

@dgasten Thanks man!

[dgasten]

@beholdtheson Brother I absolutely agree with John that this is unbelievable for a first interview. Great, great work, my friend!

[beholdtheson]

@dgasten Thanks for the comments. I was the one interviewing him here. It was a blast! Have a great year!

[dgasten]

Fantastic interview! Further evidence that John is a professional's professional and, to quote kenaiah2000 below, an absolute legend. I would have liked to heard a bit more about Head East (just got the Hip-O Select "Gettin' Lucky/Head East" CD in the mail today in fact), but I know that he isn't really crazy about talking about that so I can live with it. Agree that the "copy what's hot" thing that Xian music has become is the wrong way to go and agree that there is no Petra equivalent today.

I really enjoy listening to this man speak from the heart.He is one sincere individual.

[wheelzwheela]

He seems like a really nice guy.

I wonder why he didn't say what exactly was in his I-Pod. I am not ashamed to say that 90 percent of mine is secular music b/c I don't like much of the Christian music out there. There is no commandment that say's thou shalt listen to Christian music. Like John, love political talk radio--and Christian teaching as well as Bible on cd
