Country singer honors ‘John Wayne and Jesus’ in new song
Christian Post ^ | Feb 3 2019 | Jeannie Law

Billboard-topping country music singer Lucas Hoge says his new single “John Wayne and Jesus” is a tribute to his childhood and the values that were instilled in him.

Hoge filmed the video for his new single during a recent trip to Los Angeles where he performed on Hallmark's daytime talk show “Home & Family.” The single was also shot at the same Warner Bros. lot where Academy Award-winning legend John Wayne shot many of his movies.

"'John Wayne and Jesus' was a thought I had been sitting on for a while. When I got together with my buddies Andy Wills and Danny Simpson I knew they would be the perfect guys to bring it to life. We wanted to create one of those songs that really encompassed the way of life we had as kids and the values that mom, dad, John Wayne, and Jesus gave to us,” Hoge told The Christian Post of his new song.

Contempt for worship is not contempt for the thing worshiped if that thing has possible godly uses too.

I mean I know you crank out spiffy little show tunes for the emptyheaded show that is Broadway. And good for you. But what does it mean in the bigger scheme of things?

Please stop viewing the stage as the measure of all.

Well well well... I actually admonish show biz that it isn’t the center of the world, especially when it does something like co-opt Jesus to John Wayne.

And then Miz Broadway Tunes tells me off for doing it!

Lolol.

Somewhere back when, you mentioned you were at least a lyricist. If that was a lie, then surely not shame on me.

I have never been a lyricist. I have never written a song in my life. And you dare to say I'm lying? Seriously, your stupidity is astounding.

This is the problem with cowboy-olatry: it is about an image, an idol. Even Wayne’s script writers spoke more, as Wayne simply obeyed the script.

I quite agree with you, Idol worship is a vanity whether the icon is graven or celluloid.

What is cowboy-olatry? Are you actually taking up Hi Tech’s inane use of language? Good luck with that!
