Toby Mac................

I went to the Winter Jam concert in Norman this past Friday with our church youth. 10 buck to see 5 bands. The two big ones were Newsboys and Toby Mac. I enjoyed the Newsboys. They did their usual rotating drum set thing. They are doing more praise music these days. That means their shows are more serious. They used to be more goofy. But......

Toby Mac! You got to see this guy in concert. I have not seen him in concert since the dc Talk days. If you ever went to a dc Talk concert, you had a good time. Quick note: did you know that dc Talk's Jesus Freak album is over 10 years old? Wow. Toby is totally off the hook. Not only does he continue to put out quality music, but his shows are phenomenal. Toby has surrounded himself with amazing musicians to perform with him on stage. All 11,000 people were into his show. This whole thing makes me think an interesting thought. I am not trying to take away from the fine talent Michael Tait and Kevin Max offer. It is obvious that Toby Mac was the major force behind dc Talk. dc Talk could not make anything bad. It seems that Toby is the same way. I also must commend Toby on his integrity. He is huge. He has been huge for a lot of years now. Their has never been a hint of compromise in the content of his music. I will borrow some words from John Reuben, Toby has always kept it innovative. Toby totally ruled Friday night.
