Paint me green and call me Gumby!

30 January 2006

I recently came across a member of the younger generation* that was unaware of that friendly green being, Gumby. This young man also possessed a deep ignorance of Pokey and the Blockheads. As you may have guessed, this shocked me, because I suddenly realised that I was old.


Today, I stumbled across some more news that shocked me...

Paul Colman has joined the Newsboys.


In the words of Rove, WHAT THE?????


Yes, you read correctly. Paul Colman has joined the Newsboys.
After Jody Davis left as their long-time guitarist due to family reasons, their interim guitarist didn't last long. Paul has now weighed in to fill the spot. I'll be keeping an eye out to see if this will signal a return to the Newsboys of old - the fun-loving, zany, mad-cap Newsboys that were always a laugh to listen to.


To add to the shock, Audio Adrenaline are calling it quits after 15 years of American Christian rock. After 15 years of screaming, lead singer Mark Stuart's voice is, unsurprisingly, finally giving way. They're working on a greatest hits package with some new songs. So long fellas!!

Until next time, stay classy,
Martyman



*In fact, as I ponder for a moment the state of play in our human universe, the entire population is getting much, much older. The birth rate ain't what it used to be, and so products and services for the older generation will be a growth area in the coming years. Perhaps I should invest in a zimmer-frame manufacturer...=)

    Look at it on the bright side: at least we now have a restored southern hemispheric balance that was long precariously askew in the Newsboys.

    Maybe that's what we've been waiting for.
