Rocking Grandma: The Reinvention of Rocking Worship

That woman deserves a medal and will probably get a crown in Heaven.

She surprisingly has much in common with Madonna, Sting, U2, and any other successful artist who’s had a long career – she’s willing to reinvent herself.

A few years ago, I wrote a wildly controversial article about mid-forties praise band guitarists who are having tantrums because they refuse to give up their reverb and chorus pedals from 1984. It’s happening all over the country. Maybe they should have a talk with grandma.

Inevitably, I get that comment “but you’ll get old, too – then what?” I AM old and have reinvented myself 4 times now – if I still played the piano like Dino, whipping up and down the keyboard – do you think I’d get very far these days in a praise band?

It’s been said that the only thing certain in life is change. So why not accept rocking worship and embrace it? You just might even have some fun.
