old skool

Steve Taylor, on Greed. This quirky early CCM singer-songwriter (he broke his ankle jumping off a stage at Cornerstone...in 1984) was a satirical genius...Too bad he wasn't quite polite enough to make it as a CCM artist. He's a done a lot behind the scenes, however, including writing and producing for the Newsboys and Sixpence None The Richer.

He penned the lyrics to this song, one of the better songs the Newsboys ever recorded, before they lost John James, and his edgy honesty, to a battle with drugs and alcoholism. Ten years after I started listening to Newsboys, and I still know every word to this song.
