Meet Paul Thorn, Tupelo native, singer/songwriter, son of a preacher.
He caught my attention with the part about of going out in the world and learning that not everything he’d been told was evil really was. The part I really liked, though, was his discussion of what art is…which he says is essentially having something to say.
The interview is wonderful, but his “This I Believe” essay really hits home.
“I had to break away from the God I was supposed to believe in to find the God I could believe in.”
That, and if you don’t buy his CD, you’re probably not right. 
Good stuff.
Thanks to the person who sent me this link. You know who you are. I won’t incriminate you without your permission, though, on account of we share a mama and all that just in case you didn’t want it told you’ve been listening to this trash.
Since you won’t out me without my permission, because of our shared mama and all, I guess I give you my permission…lol…glad you like it, thought you would!
