Rock for Life
I’m never sure how people I write about are going to like the finished product. But Rock for Life’s Erik Whittington, whom I interviewed extensively for the book’s chapter on youth-oriented Christian political activism, seems to be okay with Chapter 9. From his blog:
Our chapter, Black and White in a Gray World gives an honest account of a day in the life of Rock for Life. I hope you’ll pick up a copy, share it with your friends and let me know what you think….
I am very curious to read what other people think. Incidentally, if you’re trivia-oriented, the original title of this chapter was “Black and White in a Grey World,” with the British spelling grey, because that’s how Leslie (now Sam) Phillips titled her song with these lyrics:
No distinction, no emotion for right or wrong
They tell me any choice will do
No color contrast in their dull morality
The shades of good and bad are through
Seemed appropriate.

I haven’t read the book yet but I hear that I got a little mention. Thanks. I’ll have to scrape up some money and get the book so I can actually read it and give you a scathling review of how you misquoted me and besmirched my good name!
