James Stewart, a fine gentleman whom I really enjoyed meeting in Grand Rapids, reprises a blog post about my book for Catapult magazine. He quite rightly takes me to task for errors of detail (which I’ve tried to catalog here), but I’m not sure what he means about errors from the Festival of Faith and Music. I stand by my notes on that one, though I’ll happily correct anything I’m wrong about.
About me not understanding the language of David Dark: I’m not an academic, and while I consider it my job to learn to parse things I don’t understand (exhibit a: a book I wrote about Christian rock), I couldn’t make heads nor tails of the man’s speech. I encourage anyone interested, though, to download and listen to one of his talks and let me know if I’m just a dope. (I’m at work and don’t have my notes here, so I don’t know whether this was one of his keynotes or a workshop.) I also highly recommend the Stockman talk.
