Body Piercing Saved My Life officially came out yesterday (yes, I realize it’s been in stores for much longer, but apparently this is how the publishing industry works), and I have a bunch of stuff happening in the next few days. It’s all subject to change the farther we get from today, but here’s what we’re looking at:
- Saturday, June 3, at 8 p.m., I’ll be on John Kasich’s Heartland show on Fox News
- Monday, June 5, at 2 p.m., I’ll be on WNYC’s Soundcheck program, the chief engineer of which is none other than Rob Christiansen
- Thursday, June 8, at 11 a.m. I’ll be on NPR’s On Point. The latter may be fun because I think you can call in and try to rattle me.

Quite by accident, I heard the Soundcheck interview today. It’s been fascinating to me to see how John Schaeffer’s attitude toward Christian rock music has changed over the last year from tacit dismissal to bemused curiosity to the kind of omnivorous appreciation that he brings to so many other kinds of music.
I got my copy of the book this weekend and I’m going back tomorrow to pick up a copy to give to a friend who is soon to be ordained in the Episcopal church. Having myself grown up the son of a minister, he and I have an ongoing conversation about the encroachment of Christian pop music into the church service which is now so commonplace that even (or especially) the stodgiest churches have resorted to this pop pablum to increase attendance. As a music lover, I’ve never understood why this ploy works so well, but I hope the book might suggest some answers.
