What Worship Leaders Can Learn from Springsteen

-

Rob O'Connor ripped Springsteen's Super Bowl halftime show at List of the Day. In light of these observations, I'd like to suggest ten things worship leaders can learn for Springsteen's performance:
1. "Drop the Guacamole Dip": People resent being told they HAVE to do something musically (i.e. Everybody raise your hands! or Let's all clap together on this one!)
2. Don't Start with Something Stilted and Corny.
3. More isn't Necessarily Merrier.
4. This is Not a Place for Self Promotion
5. Gospel Choir: O'Connor was wrong on that one. Bring 'em on! They add exuberance!
6. "Fastball, not Speedball": Be Sure your References are Accurate
7. Boss Time: Beware of Cheesy Introductions.
8. Overcompensation: When you're trying to Make an Impression, That's Exactly the Impression You're going to Make.
9. Don't Stick Clarence on Cowbell: I'll leave the interpretation of that one up to you!
10. No Wardrobe Malfunctions: That's a GOOD Thing -- Despite O'Conner's Obvious Disappointment.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
