Mommy Doesn't Love Daddy Anymore ~Resurrection Band | Then and Now

Sometime in '81, Resurrection Band released their sixth album, Mommy Doesn't Love Daddy Anymore. The title alone showed that the Chicago-based rockers weren't afraid to address the realities of a painful world (which is something most Christian musicians are still afraid of doing). As the title suggests, they tackled the topic of divorce, as well as, materialism, society and the disabled, and spiritual struggles. One of the great things about this band was that they truly believed that, "Jesus brings the light into every situation" (from, "Elevator Muzik"). Regardless of how ugly or painful the topic, these guys knew Jesus was at the heart of the answer to any problem and there wasn't any issue His healing power couldn't redeem. They thrived on meeting people where they were

The album's standouts, for me, were: "Stark/Spare", "Elevator Muzik", "Alienated", "Can't Get You Outta My Mind", "The Chair", "Mommy Don't Love Daddy Anymore", "First Degree Apathy", and "Lovin' You"

Of course, that is almost every song on the album. What can I say, it's a solid album.

The 20 best CDs of 2011 , by Brian Q. Newcomb It's that time of year when lists by the dozens start making their way into magazines, blogs, tweets and over the airwaves. I'm adding to all of that by forwarding this one along. In fact, I may even add to those before the years is up. Actually, I probably won't add until the year has past by a few days. The list below is by Brian Q. Newcomb, one of my favorite music critics. I'm not a fan of everyone on his list, but respect his musical tastes enough to give them a spin (Thank you Spotify). Some I have been a fan of for years and other will be a discovery. I'm looking forward to what I will hear.

First modern Olympic Games - 1896

This Day In History | First modern Olympic Games - 1896 On April 6, 1896, the Olympic Games, a long-lost tradition of ancient Greece, are reborn in Athens 1,500 years after being banned by Roman Emperor Theodosius I. At the opening of the Athens Games, King Georgios I of Greece and a crowd of 60,000 spectators welcomed athletes from 13 nations to the international competition. The first recorded Olympic Games were held at Olympia in the Greek city-state of Elis in 776 B.C., but it is generally accepted that the Olympics were at least 500 years old at that time. The ancient Olympics, held every four years, occurred during a religious festival honoring the Greek god Zeus. In the eighth century B.C., contestants came from a dozen or more Greek cities, and by the fifth century B.C. from as many as 100 cities from throughout the Greek empire. Initially, Olympic competition was limited to foot races, but later a number of other events were added, including wrestling, boxing, horse and...
