Just came across this. I always enjoy hearing an artist talk about what inspired them to create something that's impacted me. I remember when "You Oughta Know" first came out, it scared the s--t out of me like a lot of men, and I think that's why I love it. It was so raw and visceral, at first I didn't like you. But as the words sunk in, I got where the anger and pain was coming from. I don't hear it on the radio much where I am now, and I think that's a shame. Your honesty helps me to be honest, even when it's scary.

I like your tagline: I would rather be excluded for who I include than included for who I exclude. It is better to define yourself positively. It is better to say, for example, you are for peace than against war.

Thanks. You totally get it.

I like Andy Stanley much more than his dad. Usually when he runs afoul of the evangelical crowd it's for the right reasons.

A beautiful tribute. I didn't know her son shot himself. It sounds like the kind of thing you never get over. RIP.

I really needed this.
