During Anniversary Month, I like to bring out some of my personal stories and some of my favorites are bad band behavior stories. There is nothing I haven't seen. Usually I tell you about the bad behavior of bands you would kind of expect. Today though, gather round as I tell you about the bad behavior of this permanent A list Christian singer. The guy has Grammy wins and Dove wins and has sold millions of records. He also used to run this little scam while out on tour. He would, as part of his promotion for a show in a city arrange to play a little show around noon at a big church in town. It was always around noon or even a little earlier. He did this because he knew the crowd would feature a majority of women. Sometimes, depending on the town, there would be a ratio of 80/20. After playing a few songs and doing some speaking, there would often be a little reception. It was there he would find a woman or two who he would then invite to sound check with him. They would leave straight from the church. His theory was that whoever said yes right away without thinking about it at all, he would end up having sex with between sound check and the show. He was almost always right. He called it spiritual counseling. His wife believed he was actually spending time praying and reflecting before his show, so would never call or disturb him during those few hours. So, the devout Christian singer who had millions of followers usually did this three or four times a week. He once told someone that he thinks he also has about twenty children out there that are probably his, but have no idea. You see, our singer believed that unprotected sex was the only way he could achieve glory so to speak and therefore, he has got a whole bunch of kids who look just like him which is why he never went to the same church twice. The next time back in town, he would pick another church and if there was not another one of equal size, he would just skip the promotion for that town.
