Seeds definitely deserves to be here as well as another! Believe me, Dan, there will be more of Barry on the list before it's all said and done. But, after listening to "Have You Heard" again, I don't think there are enough strong songs on it to place it on the Top I do love it, though. What a wild man! I saw him in concert around at a very low rent venue a high school auditorium. Glad to see he is still at it! He knew one thing: he did not want to be a Christian.
And man, I had this bowl out that morning; I had three papers glued together. I figured he's only gonna lay one joint on me, so I'll make the biggest one I can roll.
And I look down on this particular day, there's a little paper back book layin' on the table next to the grass, and it's called Good News for Modern Man. And I thought, 'Hey, I'm a modern man. I could use some good news.
So I took the book home with me, didn't know what it was. I got by myself, opened it up, and right on the first flyleaf page in the book it says, 'The New Testament in Modern English.
Them Jesus Freaks, man! They're diguisin' the Bible! Give me a break! And it laid there for days. It laid there for weeks and months, actually. And for the first time in my life, I stopped looking at Christians; I stopped looking at denominations, organizations, Catholics, Protestants, ya know, all this stuff that goes on in His name. And I took a look at Him, examined what He had to say. And everything that Jesus had to say, as I put it to the test against what I knew to be true through my own life experience, I couldn't find anything wrong with His words.
There's no double meaning, no hidden agenda. It was all out front. And I wanted to be like Jesus. I thought, 'Man, this is my guy! I wanted to be like Him, but I didn't wanna be like all them. I thought if I said yes to Jesus I'd have to get a powder blue leisure suit -- remember those? I couldn't do that.
I fell on my face on the floor of that house. His mother married a construction worker and the family moved frequently, forcing Barry to change schools often. As a year old boy, he was working on fishing boats in San Pedro; at 16, he lied about his age and joined the Navy.
