I wanna be one of those rowdy friend coming over tonight but I am too old and settled down lol but maybe I can still have a go because I am sure I can be good once as I ever was ... =)
I was addicted to rock and roll music but not as a musician. I would just get high off the beat and melody sans drugs and go into never never land. My favorite group was Pink Floyd cuz of their space rock sound. I would steal their records first. But as Dan Peek so aptly said, GOD has got a way of getting our attention. For me it was thru a rock and roll preacher who came to Anchorage, Alaska in May of 1973. He had stated in an interview that the Devil could be involved in some rock music.' what right did that clown have to attack my world ?' i loved my rock music more than God. So I decided to go to this evangelist's gospel crusade and scream and heckle him. To make a long story short God turned the tables on me and the man started preaching like Billy Graham on TV and I ended up walking the aisle and prayed with that preacher to receive Jesus Christ as my personal savior an accept his offer of forgiveness for my sins through his precious shed blood on the cross. I became what the Bible says " born-again ". "If any man be in Christ he is a new person and old things pass away.". I had been on the outside looking in before and now I was on the inside looking out. Christ gave me the power of His holy Spirit to shoot my favorite hard rock music lps w/ a 410. Shot gun. He also gave me moral purity w/ my girlfriend Donna.( I never again had sex with her) God also moved on me to give up my new bartending job on a tourist train from Anchorage to Fairbanks. ' America was one of the groups I shot there's more to life then sex drugs and rock and roll. Dan peek expounded well on that.Sorry if i got too wordy but I wanted to add my comment cuz I have something to say.
Wow Cheryl Ladd! After seeing this interview I now truly believe that you are Beautiful not only physically but also your inner self. Please God have your Angels spread their wings and surround Cheryl and her daughter with Love,Peace and Protection in Jesus mighty name!
I loved Dan Peek and the group America, however; he should have kept his mouth shut about the drugs. He's actually spilling the beans on Dewey Bunnell and Gerry Beckley. I'm fully aware that they all did drugs but so what! He's ratting on the group. Peek made some great music after he quit "America." Anyway, he died rather young at the age of 60 years old. Karma got him. ----
i remember being about 7 or 8 years old and being on vaca with my dad and uncle, who i got the travel/adventure bug from at an early age and hearing A Horse With No Name, Ventura and Sister for the first time. i thought that sound was simply magical! this songs make me so nostalgic and i work in the music biz so now whenever im traveling to a gig i've got America on Spotify. thank you Dan for the beautiful music and the memories! God bless you and Kathy and i know you're playing it pretty for them in heaven!
Dan is cool, he has a good spirit....Dan is fine and enjoying the afterlife! I had seen most the bands popular as a young teen.....they would stumble through my home town of Santa Barbara....America most likely had Gods grace (in spite of the drugs)....when they performed, something sweet punched you right in the gut!
See here , right here, he explains what happens to someone who authentically surrenders to Christ! We no longer want to remain in our worldly image but die to all of that hogwash and begin a new life honoring Christ. This is why I personally don’t believe Alice Cooper is a true believer! All he is lacking right now from his worldly image is the psycho eye makeup. Other than that he looks exactly how he did as a Rock star! How can anyone encounter Christ and stay connected to the world? The word is transformed. He makes us a new creature who rejects our sinful life and doesn’t want anyone to mistake us for being the same as we once were.
Really? Then how do you explain staunch atheists who’ve turned their life around for the better? There are millions of examples of atheists giving up booze or drugs; wild lifestyles and becoming healthy, caring, loving, giving, responsible adults. You DO NOT need to insert a god in order for people to improve their lives.
Yes Sir Dan Peek story is really nice that he returned to God after all before GOD took him away from this very intricate world so inspiring .. GOD continued pouring His blessings to the two in the band left..this two guys are doing great as they remain humble and down to earth... I'm so grateful to know them well as one of their huge fans all over the world.. better late than never.. thank you Sir Gerry and Sir Dewey your amazing God has a purpose . GOD bless you more as you continue doing that for God's glory for helping the poor children.. love you guys ❤👍🙏
Met him once when he was in GA. visiting Ole Cooter . He was eating at the Log Cabin restaurant which served all you can eat BBQ and stew,plus they had catfish. Really good food. Been shut down for years now after the owners died out. Who ever inherited the place sold it out to A Dollar General Store. They everywhere now,like convenient stores.
I wish I saw him in person . He was the best one In the group . He saw what was coming and he came to the Lord I respect him so much . Rest In Peace Dan peek . I wish I have met you .
