Awesome :)

I've been a big dcTalk fan since about 2001~~~~~And have since met all 3, but not at the same time [during their SOLO shows].....They are all very nice pople~~~Michael Tait is goofy and makes time to meet every single fan (in the autograph line)...Toby is sweet and thoughtful, and KMax is so very................ mysterious!! lol..... He's a person of many layers............

Would go into more detail (about how I met them and stuff)....but I don't think anyone wants to hear it!! lol.......... (anyone, anyone??) :D

Hope you had a fantastic Palm Sunday!!! :thumbsup:
peace, God bless,

i think kevin max's solo stuff is alright. tait is pretty bland and tobymac is pretty bad. the only dc talk stuff i really like is the old rap stuff because it's funny. i remember seeing them live and being really disappointed that NONE of them played their own instruments. they just looked awkward dancing around on the stage while they sang.

hehehe.... ;)

Well, first I'm gonna copy and paste an old blog I wrote all about them, then I'll put an update at the bottom.... (you've been warned!! haha)......

WRITTEN ON: Sunday, September 26, 2004
Well, 1st~~~> for those who don't know:::dcTalk is the best band, ever!....
the 3 singers are:
Toby Mac
Michael Tait
Kevin Max ~~~>

I heard about them from my friend Jenny when I was around 11.... Passed by a song or two of theirs from time to time....
Then, went to the Alive Festival in 2001 & it all changed!!! They were SO amazing!
Later, I heard about Pulse Festival, which is a HUGE, FREE Christian ROCK festival.... and dcTalk was to come!!
...15 minutes to their show time, a huge storm huddled over, and they had to cancel, for safety!! So, I ran on stage, and got a picture with Toby! But, since we didn't actually get to see them perform......
.....I worked all summer to secretly save up for $$$ to buy me & about 10 of my friends front row tickets to dcTalk's SOLO tour! It was an early Christmas present to my buds, and a birthday gift to myself! -- But, 9/11 happened, and the show was post-poned for a few months...
Then, Toby's SOLO CD "Momentum" came out, so he was doing CD Release Parties all around...So, Christian, Turan, my parents and I, drove 2 hours to go meet him.... That happened to be around my birthday! ~~> He sang me Happy Birthday!, gave me a free tobyMac shirt, and gave me hugs!!! =) *11/7/01*
Then, we finally go to see the dcTalk show! *01/24/02* & it was AWESOME! And, the next week, I called a radio station, and told them how I loved dcTalk, and asked them if they knew any way I could get tickets to their Chicago show (happening that day!) so, while on the air, an old woman called in and said she had won tickets from a contest, but had no idea who dcTalk was and couldn't make it anyway, so she gave me 2 free tickets!! *01/28/02* Yea! I took my friend Christian, and it rocked! We were in a hurry to get home after the show, but I gave Toby a rose, and talked to Nirva (his backup singer).....
I believe next time I saw them (well, only Toby and Tait!) was at Fish Fest in summer 2002..... That was one of the best days of my life!!!! I was there with my family and J.... I got mad at J, so I walked out of the show area, to the parking lot, and then I see Toby step out of his bus!!! It was so awesome! People started crowding around him, so I walked over and he was like "Hey! I remember you!" Sweeeet! We were all talking, and J walks over, and it was just stinkin' awesome! I think I met Toby's whole band then.... And, Michael Tait came over, too! I got their autographs, and hugs! Then, my Mom was waiting in the autograph line, so I went over and got to meet them again! They were all siting at a table at the autograph line, but when I came over, Toby stood up and gave me a hug and said something like "Girl, you rock!," because I gave him MY autograph! It was funny!
Hmm.... So, I think I've seen Toby in concert about 6 times or so up to date!! And, I met him almost at every show!! He is always like "Hey girl! I remember you!" And, always gives me hugs!!
One time, I was talking to him after a show, and he was sitting on a table, and when I walked up to him, (he's so short!) he gave me a hug, and kept his arm around me, talking, 'til I had to go!! I've met his whole band--guiatists/dancers/Nirva......! It rocks so much, because I highly dig 'em!
Latest I met him, was at the Alive Fest 2004... He still remembered me, though I hadn't seen him face to face in a YEAR! He still hugged me! And, Alive was AMAZING! So many sweet & talented people there!
Oh, and Michael Tait! ::::: Okay, so I met him at Fish Fest, in 2002..... Then, I got to see his !HERO performance, November 2003... The lady in front of me in the autograph line was like "I met you here, here, here, and here, do you know who I am?!" And, he was like "Uh, sorry, no".... So, I figured he'd have no memory of me... But, guess what?! He was like "Hey, don't I know you?!" It was really cute! And, even though the security said no pictures, Michael let my dad take a photo of me with him!
Then, I saw him 2 months later, in Chicago, he was doing a CD signing thing, and had a mini show! {He remembered me!}
Now, last but not least!
KMAX!..... It was a little life goal of mine to meet all of dcTalk (little did I know they'd remember and hug me!!!) Annnd, so I was finally going to see Kevin Max and his SOLO show, at the fair..... But, somehow people screwed up and his show got canceled!! But, he was still there, & a little upset, because it wasn't his fault!! Yes, I was sad that he didn't get to sing... but, I met him! Got pictures! Was in AWE of his beauty! And, he gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek! (Well, a kiss on my hair that rested on my cheek!) {{Met Erick Cole, too, who writes some of the music & guitars}}
No, I'm not done quite yet!!
Just went to Pulse Festival again in August --> and the Tait band was there!! I got to meet Michael before the show and after! I wasn't sure if he'd remember me, but had high hopes, and when I was walking over to him, he was like "Hey! I know this girl! Come here!" and gave me a hug! I got pictures hugging him and Justin (guitarist) too!
Lots of fun meeting them all!
I hope to see Kevin Max again, because I didn't get to see his show!
I got promised from a guy named Randy, 2 free tickets to his next show around my area, to make up for the canceled one!
Well, by now you might be falling asleep, so I will end this .....
Thanks for reading, SO MUCH!

(And for those of you who scrolled down!:)

I still love the band....!

UPDATES ;-)
....Hmm..... Well, This year I went to Winter Jam twice---once in Jan, then in Feb------
The first time, I got to meet Toby and gave him an old picture from when I first met him in 2001, and he was like "i remember this!!"......he was in a hurry, becasue he was siging in an autograph line and was supposed to be on stage with Tait in like 2 minutes----but I still got my hugs and a picture~~!!! Plus, i got to meet Tait after the show was over, and Michael was like (to his band) "hey guys! this is the girl who's picture i have up at my house!!".....!!!!! :clap: hehe..... I was bouncing off the walls!!
The second winter jam----Tobin (toby's road manager) said that Toby couldn't sign autography because it would cause a FIRE HAZARD since the place was SOLD OUT!!---------but before his show, i got to talk with his drummer, and gave his dummer a note for toby from me---and a pin that said "40 and fantastic" --and a keychain that says "i love golf"...haha..... so, yeah, when toby was on satge (and i was in the front row!!) he smiled and pointed and waved at me when he saw me!! then later he came over and shook my hand and winked at me on stage!!! ...........and then with tait---he waved and smiled too when he saw me!! and i got to meet tait again afterwards, and michael was like "i saw you up front sierra girl, you were killin' it!!!"........
wooooohoooooo!
oh yeah, and now kmax emails me from time to time----because he's on my "myspace" friend's list!!.......................


if anyone read all this, THANKS!!! lol

peace!!
((and HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!)

God bless

Thanks for all the details! You sound like a fun girl:wave: I love music, and I never got to see DC Talk:cry: , I did see Tait last year in Phoenix at a Youth Convention and when he heard me say my name is Penni, he sang the Beatles 'Penny Lane' to me! It was cool.

If you knew the first thing about talent you'd know that DC Talk is awful. I can't listen to a note of their music without clawing off my ears.


Plus they are devil worshippers:

If it makes you claw your ears off-DON'T LISTEN TO IT!!!!!
DC Talk has talent-if you don't recognize it, too bad for you. I checked out the site you showed-Garbage! How dare you or anyone else try to judge what's in the heart of any other person who professes faith in the One True God! Shame on you:mad:

psst..take a deep breath! the website was assuredly posted as a joke. and! like you said, art is subjective! no need to let it bother you if someone posts and says they don't like dc talk (though it was said in a harsh manner..responding in like manner doesn't help!).
