RIP Dan Peek

I just read that Dan Peek, one of the founding members of a band called "America" passed away last Sunday. He was 60 years old.

America is one of my favorite bands, and thier greatest hits album is one of my top 10 treasured albums I own. I don't usually care for classic 70's rock, but this album just resonates with me. I'm bummed I never got to see him live myself. I had an opportunity some years back, but just went. So bummed now.

What I didn't know was that Dan was a Christian, and a vocal one in his years after he left the band.

This is a 6 minute video on his testimony. Living the Rock n Roll lifestyle, turning away from God, and then coming back like the prodigal son years later.
