Michael Sweet on TBN
Sep 24, 2007 by KMH in News
Whoa.
This was a little bit like being sucked through the back end of a black hole. The vortex reformats your brain, causing Pat Boone to merge with an 80s hair band and show up on weird television.
Yes, folks. Michael Sweet, the lead singer of the original Christian 80s mainstream hair band, actually sang “You Are So Beautiful” (think: Joe Cocker) on Praise the Lord.
How do I know this actually occurred? I witnessed it.
How did that happen? Don’t ask.
So… how was it? Well…
Dude. He still has that voice. It was a total flashback. He freakin’ rocks. What else can I say? He sounds as awesome as ever. His appearance was in support of a new record: Touched. You can check out samples on his website.
I didn’t see the whole show, so I can’t tell you what — if anything — he may have said. I only saw them call on him to sing a couple of tunes. He was sportin’ a little funky goatee thing — without the goatee. He’s aged a little, but actually… when you consider that all that spandex was fully 20 years ago now… he looks pretty good.
A little research on his website tells the story about his wife’s battle with cancer. Michael: sorry bro. We’re praying for you and the whole family. Oh wait: she’s healed! That rocks! Congratulations!
The record will be here just in time for Christmas. It doesn’t shred… but it definitely rocks.
I just still can’t figure out that whole TBN thing. Just a few weeks ago, Carman was dancing around with his posse — he’s still deluded about being a rapper. And… that’s all I have to say about that.
Peace.
