In September of 2025, my work is generating the most income it ever has in my career. Yet, I'm being forced to shut down my successul operation, against my will, due to one cause alone: 95% of that revenue is being stolen by piracy and copyright infringement. I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. Do not be misled by the lies of infringers, anti-copyright activists and organized piracy cartels. This page is a detailed, evidenced account of my battle I had to undertake to just barely stay in business, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem faced by all of my colleagues and most other creators in the field.
Christian music has been a big part of my life. I've had it in my mind to do some type of blog series on it for a few years, so now is as good a time as any! The vast majority of my music listening happens on the road: through the many miles I travel around the country and during my many late-night drives on the back roads around where I've lived.
I credit my introduction to this genre to MBN Saturday Night, a Moody Broadcasting Network program that used to air in the late 1990s up until around 2002 or so on WJYP, Charleston, West Virginia's Christian FM radio station. Late-night drives around the back roads of Kanawha and Putnam County with MBN Saturday Night are some of my greatest memories from that time period, and I've had most of those tracks in my CD and later MP3 libraries ever since.
So, I thought I'd start a blog series highlighting some favorites from the road that are still in heavy rotation in my playlists.
Eli: Hypocrite Song
I first heard of Eli during my late-night drives in 1999. Hypocrite Song is from his 1999 Second Hand Clothing album, one of the first in my CD library.
