Switchfoot reflections

Me and Dan went to see Switchfoot the other week. I rarely go our of my way for live music, so this is quite significant. Jon Foreman has become one of my favourite writers; and one of my heroes. My favourite artists are always those who seem to express my deepest feeling about life. The experience of reading thir book, listening to their CD, whatever, is made sublime by it's resonance. 'Yes!' I cry (sometimes out loud, in public places), 'that's it! That's exactly how it is!'

I thought I'd share some with you. Keep reading...!
