Re: An interesting guy
He's my all time favorite contemporary artist, too. I got to go to some of his concerts. Most of them I went to were "for a love offering at the door", and most were not in huge auditoriums. I never saw him in a concert with lots of lights and special affects, but just simply Rich Mullins. One of his songs required no musical instruments, but a stack of paper cups (Screen Door). As part of another one, he had the audience participate-he directed us, and it sounded like a storm (Ready for the Storm). I kept thinking that someone would turn the sprinklers on to solidify the affect!! At another concert, he came onstage in old blue jeans and a t-shirt... barefoot, too if I remember right. There was a collective gasp from a few staid older members of that church, but the concert was wonderful. After one concert, I went to back out of my parking space and hit another car... found out it was one of the band member's cars. I went in, a nervous 17 year old, to tell them. No one was upset, no one said I should have been paying attention or that I shouldn't be bothering them. The band member said he was sure it would be fine, walked out with me, looked at it, and assured me that the damage was minimal. He popped the bumper back into place, wished me a good night, and walked back in. Refused to call the police or make an accident report. He treated me better than my own dad would have. Talk about a Christian response!! And, BTW, the car was nothing fancy-it was actually in worse shape than mine-and they had no special parking reserved for the band.
