A SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM CORNERSTONE FESTIVAL
May 15, 2012
Dear Cornerstone Festival Family:
We are so grateful to have been able to share with you the gift that has been Cornerstone Festival all these years. Our annual gathering in this truly…
Very sad to hear this. I only got to one full Cornerstone, but have followed JPUSA since 1990, when a colleague introduced me to their amazing magazine.
I am thankful that that one Cornerstone was 1998, with Over the Rhine and a tribute to Rich Mullins. My wife, 8-month-old son, and I made it (thanks in part to horrible directions by Mapquest, to the last two songs of Steve Taylor’s set in 2003. i still wish I would have had the opportunity to see The Canticle of the Plains performed. And 77s. And. And. And….
Maybe they’ll put out an anthology or a website full of videos and bootlegs from all these years of being the best “Christian” music festival on the planet. (I can hope, right?)
And this is how I find out they had a Tumblr? So sad.

It’s like it’s about me. But it’s not.
I’ll just post this and leave the rest alone.
Steve Taylor - Since I Gave Up Hope I Feel a Lot Better (by CharityDance)
Yes, now I’m on a Steve Taylor kick.

as performed by Fleming & John
Nothing is colder than the winds of change
Where the chill numbs the dreamer till a shadow remains
Among the ruins lies your tortured soul
Was it lost there
Or did your will surrender control?
Shivering with doubts that were left unattended
So you toss away the cloak that you should have mended
Don’t you know by now why the chosen are few?
It’s harder to believe than not to
Harder to believe than not to
It was a confidence that got you by
When you know you believed it, but you didn’t know why
No one imagines it will come to this
But it gets so hard when people don’t want to listen
Shivering with doubts that you left unattended
So you toss away the cloak that you should have mended
Don’t you know by now why the chosen are few?
It’s harder to believe than not to
Some stay paralyzed until they succumb
Others do what they feel, but their senses are numb
Some get trampled by the pious throng
Still they limp along
Are you sturdy enough to move to the front?
Is it nods of approval or the truth that you want?
And if they call it a crutch, then you walk with pride
Your accusers have always been afraid to go outside
They shiver with doubts that were left unattended
Then they toss away the cloak that they should have mended
You know by now why the chosen are few
It’s harder to believe than not to
I believe
Don Miller and filmmaker Steve Taylor this week talking about the behind-the-scenes story of making the Blue Like Jazz film. One of the most fascinating conversations we’ve ever shot at our studio. Can’t wait for you all to see it in the coming months.
“Filmmaker” Steve Taylor. Man, I wish he would go back to music. It is still Steve Taylor and Rich Mullins at the top of my music list. I love Don Miller’s writing and the videos I’ve seen, too. I am looking forward to this movie. Those senses of humor must have worked very well together. (I think I would fit in quite well if I could ever get into that circle. I’m available for hire, guys!)
