Anne Wilson – “God Story” Sounds A Lot Like…

This is turning into rabbit hole, folks. I wrote a while back about two new songs in Christian music that are so matchy matchy that somehow in some way they must be connected behind-the-scenes.

There are enough customers to go around for brands like Levi’s, American Eagle, and now Gap has entered theContinue reading “Gap Goes Denim and Cracker Barrel, Too??”
