Derek Webb: Journal. i am finding this a hard journal to write. there’s a lot of ground to cover and questions to answer. for those who haven’t already heard, i’ve decided to part ways with my band of 10 years, caedmon’s call. this decision took a lot of time and prayer, and has been a long time coming. i’ve wanted for some time to share some of what has gone into this decision but have had certain self-constraints, another thing that i hope to explain.
Poor web design makes linking directly to Derek’s journal difficult. You can follow the link at the top of the page.
Caedmon’s Call is, in many ways, more than one of my favorite all-time bands. This is one of the bands that defined my Christian experience after Youth Group. As I grappled with the hard issues that were presented to me in Rutgers philosophy and sociology classes, the my warm ‘n’ fuzzy flavor of evangelicalism handed to me by James Dobson and Chuck Swindoll took a beating. Caedmon’s Call was and continues to be a harbor in the storm of rabid secularism and the bombastic Christian Right.
So could you love this bastard child?
Though I don’t trust you to provide
With one hand in a pot of gold
And the other in your side
‘Cause I am so easily satisfied
By the call of lovers so less wild
That I would take a little cash
Over your very flesh and blood
ken,
don’t know if you know about caedmonscall.net adn derekwebb.net, but we’re the unofficial sites for the band.
caedmonscall.net has been up and running for over a year now and gets over 500 hits a day. The band has used us more than once to get info out to fans and we’ve pretty much made the guild obsolete.
derekwebb.net launched a few months ago and we’re still growing. we’ve done a chat with derek and host all of his journals and archives from pas shows.
the Rumor Forum at rocksmyfaceoff.net if the forum linked to from both sites. t’s far and awya the best community online for fans of CC and Derek.
maybe you already know about us, but in case you didn’t, i wanted to fill you in…
