It's January 2026, and in steps former Christian music starlet Amy Grant, pining for her younger days of the 60s and 70s cultural revolution with her latest single, "The 6th of January."
Not joking 👇
VIDEO AT LINK........................
The lyrics to this thing are the most Boomerslop I've ever read.
References to John Brown and Harper's Ferry, Martin Luther King, Woodstock, and John Lennon's "Imagine."
She says maybe it's the time of year
Or maybe it's the time of man
60's playlist and a beer
I'm suddenly 16 again ...
Hey mister where's the road to Yasgur's farm
He stares at me with pity and alarm
Says that crowd left here long ago
Scattered all to hell and Harper's Ferry
On the 6th of January
This is Amy Grant's message of hatred towards the folks who made her famous.
All of the worst boomer nostalgia incoming...
I hear the words John Lennon said
Asking me to imagine
As I fight this cart with crooked wheels
He's either bent over laughing
Or spinning in his Strawberry Fields ...
And we're driving home and the radio plays
What's goin' on? Marvin Gaye
Is it right on red or left on MLK
I look ahead and realize we've lost our way
So she's a commie now??
We've lost our way? The radical free-love hippies were right? The leftist revolution was the good old days?
Now it's just Trump and J6 playing in her mind.
This will become the definitive holiday song for liberals now, won't it?
Here's a little online reaction for you:
X-TWEETS AT LINK.......................
If I had to guess, I'd bet Amy's faith was as real as a teenager's could be before, in her adult life, she faced perhaps more worldly temptation in the music industry than we can relate. I'm not justifying her sin, I'm just saying that I can't relate to being around the constant sex/drugs/rockNroll culture of the music world. Much like I hope you or others would give me conviction, not condemnation, but with an understanding that, in my line of work, being around a bunch of fellow high IQ analytical programmers can lead to temptations in pride and such that maybe most others can't relate to. Especially back when I worked in the research industry.

Multiple affairs........
Amy Grant is an unrepentant sinful apostate.
I don’t care what she says.
Trash spews trash.
Yes, I understand what you mean, Tell It Right. Incident ally, my brother-in-law (who is 9 years my junior)just came to the Lord and loves Skillet, as someone who was a fan of metal. I was saved at 20 and was in college at the time, then later went into publishing, so you can imagine those temptations, lol! In the early 80s, young believers listened to Petra (like you), Keith Green (my husband and I loved him), Evie, the Imperials, Carmen, Andre Crouch, lots of great ones. The problem is you don’t see much fruit, just sandals, from people like Amy Grant and Hillsong, for example. It sends a bad testimony to the world, but then I think much of CCM has gone done a wrong road. Still many sincere ones, though. God bless you!
Scandals, not sandals. Ah, autocorrect! Lol!
Another dumb twat off my music list. Here is a good reason for me listen to Classical Music.
You mean AMY GRANT, the woman who let love notes for a married man Vince Gill and was a reason he got Divorced? You mean that Christian singer Amy Grant? Oh, ok.
Amy Grant and Vince Gill hosted her niece’s lesbian wedding at her farm a few years ago. That did it for me.
Don Henley would never have allowed Vince to join The Eagles, if Vince was Conservative.
I was actually speaking specifically about Amy Grant, the subject of the thread.
Vince Gill ... another one of the country singers who have gone woke. (I stick to Classic Country.)
I know Gill is the substitute for Glenn Frey. I thought Frey’s son did a good job.
CANO.
The next of their concerts I went too was weird. This was after their To Hell with the Devil album and they had a couple of music videos playing on MTV. Unfortunately, those videos had vague messages (much like Michael W Smith's Face in the Word, what exactly does that mean?, also playing on MTV). But the rest of the songs on that THWTD album by Stryper were straight-up in their message. So I liked the album for the most part.
And at that concert, it was weird. LOL It seems like I didn't get the memo that I was supposed to dress up in black leather with studded wrist bands and such. LOL Again, Stryper had videos on MTV and was bringing in another type of crowd compared to the other concert. I began to wonder if I was in the right place. But the band came onto the stage and fans around me cheered for Jesus as much as I did, even the very pro-Christian messaged songs. When the band took a break and the lead singer walked out onto the stage with a stool to sit on and a Bible to read from, the leather-decked fans cheered. He said he had a message that was different from the ones he had shared prior nights at other locations, but he believed the Lord wanted him to share it. And the fans cheered. He shared the message, then asked if we wanted to hear the regular message from the Bible that he shared at other locations that tour. And all the fans cheered for more Bible talk. I couldn't believe it. I had judged them because they all dressed like they were showing up for a Mad Max movie casting call. Evidently there was something to using the music for outreach. (Unlike my perspective, which is music to encourage existing believers to keep on believing.)
Tell your brother-in-law that I said that even though I don't care much for retro Stryper music now, about a decade or so ago they came out of retirement and, when I'm in an every now and then mood for metal, I like their new stuff. Stryper now seems to write the lyrics before composing the music so that the music is designed to emphasize the message (much like the other bands I like did for decades). I like their song Yaweh, and their Reborn album. Or if he wants more old-school metal but with a consistent message, it's hard to beat Bloodgood's Detonate album (songs like Crucify), or Barren Cross' albums (songs like Here I Am, King of Kings), or Whitecross (Holy War, In the Kingdom, Because of Jesus, No Second Chances).
I every now and then run into young adults who years ago where in a children's church I volunteered in 1/3rd of the time (when it was my turn to lead it). They always say that what they remember most was that every Sunday I led it, I mean without fail, the kids said, "Can we do the song? Please, can we do the song?". So I'd say "Don't let a fat man in his 30's (later 40's) out worship you" and played the song, with one hand turning up the volume on the speaker system I bought. For the next few minutes the kids and I would yell Well I don't care, what some may say, gonna stand up for the Lord today!" LOL This is an anthem type song (think Christian with an attitude of not letting anyone shake their faith). I believed that the kids needed to be taught to be strong in their faith in a world that was increasingly getting hostile to Christians. And no one else was going to teach that .... in the United Methodist church we were in. And the kids begged for it. They begged for it! In a Methodist church of all places.
I was kicked out of that church when I learned that our denomination leaders were pushing hedonism to be taught in churches, and that some of our donation money was going to abortion lobbying. I spent about a year calmly, but persistently, asking what we can do about it. Do we draw up a petition? I asked the pastor for months. Then the associate pastor. Then each one of my elders, beginning with the ones that I thought would be most receptive. Nothing worked. I eventually asked the elders who believed foremost in the Gospel according to Democrats. They told the pastor to get rid of me. (He was close to retiring and probably was afraid of his boat getting rocked and messing up his pension. Not saying he was right to get rid of me. Just saying I've never been in that position.) At first he told me to quit volunteering with the kids (including the youth group every Sunday night and Wednesday night). I asked him if it was an accusation of me being inappropriate with the kids, he said No. I asked if someone said I was teaching something contradicting the Bible or doctrine. He said No. Was I ineffective, telling too many corny dad jokes? No. He affirmed that he was happy with the years of volunteer work with the kids. He said he especially liked me doing what he asked, which was make sure that the boys knew there was a place for them in God's kingdom even with the Methodist church seemingly organized to be more comfortable with women. So I eventually asked if it had to do with me wanting our denomination to quit pushing modern Moloch worship and Asherah pole worship. That's when he told me to find another church.
That was about 15 years ago. A few years ago that Methodist church was one of the ones that broke away from the hedonist United Methodist denomination and joined the new Bible based denomination. When I read about it I couldn't be happier! My neighbor told me that I should be proud because it was mainly the young people pushing for it. He's right. I couldn't be prouder!
Now that song the kids always begged for, the late 1980's Petra song I Love the Lord, is my favorite song. I love it as much as the kids did. I can't get enough of it. If I was still listening to cassette tape music instead of digital music I would have worn that tape out many times over.
(She’s listenin to the father of lies.)
That is correct.
The author pretty much throws his own credibility down the toilet with that ...
The NPS in Harper’s Ferry holds John Brown up as some great tragic hero ...
IMO, the guy was a total nutcase.
SATAN is using the Godless Reprobate Homosexual Agendas to DESTROY NORMAL SOCIETY”
Absolutely.
She is angry that she never made the big time and never will. She had a few minor hits and that was that.
