Subsequently, the main stage was closed and a red emergency message appeared on screens throughout the Bluesfest grounds urging people to leave calmly. The show was cut short in the middle of their third song since lightning “crashed” through the amplification. Despite holding an umbrella, my shoes and the rest of my clothing were completely soaked at this point. At the conclusion of the second, the rain had significantly intensified to the point where water was flowing several inches high from where I was standing. They continued with two songs from their 1991 album, Mental Jewelry: Operation Spirit (The Tyranny of Tradition) and Pain Lies on the Riverside. They started off the concert with their hard-driving hit song, “ All Over You,” also from the album Throwing Copper. I had seen LiVE three previous times, twice at Bluesfest and once in Hull, Quebec, at the Robert Guertin Centre, each of their performances were always tight instrumentally and vocally they’ve also always exuded high energy.
It was pouring rain by the time I had purchased my ticket and gotten into the concert area. I parked right in front of my alma mater, the Dominican University College, and made the ten minute trek toward the Bluesfest venue throughout the walk it was raining. After a long day at work and a session of tennis, I had made a last minute decision to attend the show. On July 14, LiVE was set to perform at Ottawa’s annual Bluesfest. The other members of LiVE (Chad Gracey, Patrick Dahlheimer and Chad Taylor) joined members of Candlebox (lead singer Kevin Martin and guitarist Sean Hennesy) to form The Gracious Few. LiVE has been active for close to 30 years, forming in 1989 and continuing until the present, with only a 3 year hiatus from 2009-2012 the lead singer, Ed Kowalczyk had left the band for 7 years to pursue a solo career. They have enjoyed a successful musical career since then. This song, among others, from the album Throwing Copper, catapulted LiVE into the limelight for a number of years. It is a song which brought significant attention to LiVE. “Lightning Crashes” was a hit single by LiVE in 1994. Let me first explain who LiVE is and their connection to the spiritual in general and Christianity in specific.įor anyone, familiar with the band LiVE, the title of this piece is a play on words. The attacks on Christianity are so widespread that they find themselves in verses of songs.
SONG LIGHTNING CRASHES MEANING TV
This is all to say that the narrative against Biblical claims is pervasive and is found everywhere including newspapers, documentaries, TV shows, lecture halls and even song lyrics in popular bands such as LiVE. Thus, all the recent journalistic pieces about the Canaanites being exterminated are just patently false according to the Hebrew Scriptures themselves. The Asherites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land because they did not drive them out. Nor did Asher drive out those living in Akko or Sidon or Ahlab or Akzib or Helbah or Aphek or Rehob. Neither did Zebulun drive out the Canaanites living in Kitron or Nahalol, so these Canaanites lived among them, but Zebulun did subject them to forced labor. The first chapter in Judges lists areas in which the Canaanites persevered. The Biblical account regarding the Canaanites does not lay claim that all the Canaanites were exterminated, since they survived Joshua’s invasion. Although the findings of the genetic lineage with modern Lebanese people and the Canaanites are indeed fascinating, there is a small problem. Journalists, more than ever, have been attacking straw men and have lacked serious rigour in their reporting (all this is aside from the endless fake news propagated by mainstream media). In this case that the Bible has wrongfully claimed the Israelites wiped out the Canaanites three examples can be found here, here and here. The opportunity commonly seized by journalists is to show that “science” yet again disproves one of the many claims of the bible. The Israelites were commanded by God to exterminate the Canaanites (Deuteronomy 7:1-2 20:16-18). Take the recent discovery that Lebanese ancestry share 90% or more of their genetics with the Canaanites, who biblically, were considered to be arch-enemies of the Israelites. It seems that our culture in its ever increasing narrative against anything biblical and supernatural must be something that should be doubted, if not scoffed at.
