Wendy Wimbush on a spacehopper
Christian Rock Concert undertakes the tricky but ultimately necessary task of taking the piss out of Christian rock. Which is uniformly terrible. I have no idea if Wendy Wimbush is, was, or ever has been, associated with evangelical Christianity, or whether she’s just one of those people they had to get into a song somewhere, even if there was no obvious connection. Apparently our favourite cricket scorer was “forced into retirement by the beancounters at the ECB” according to the Guardian Unlimited’s wonderfully named David Hopps, who managed to mention HMHB and spacehoppers in what was probably his last opportunity, ever. Good work, Sir.

It’s “After The Fire were a mess on the floor”
ATF were a late 70s early 80s Christian synth pop band who had a minor hit with One Rule For You. It fits in perfectly with the subject matter of the song. .

Thanks for the info on After the Fire, John. I never knew that.
“The rural dean lay inert, In his John 3:16 shirt”
Has always been one of my favourite lines. Simply wonderful.
