I'm Not Ashamed

And neither are they. Time for a look at what a Newsboys concert used to be like...

[This is the music video for "I'm Not Ashamed," as you can read right up there. So why did I just say that? Hmmmmm... I'm getting old...]

 [Duncan in a GIANT! RUN!!!! The headset intrigues me. I wonder if Dunny used to sing too. Wouldn't that be awesome to hear?]
[And what's a live show without a motorcycle on stage? I mean really? Wow. Things have changed a bit.]

 [Kevin and his ponytail rockin' out.]

[Peter makes goofy looks while he drums just like Duncan does!]

I'm not ashamed to let you know.
I want this light in me to show.

[Wow. Jody of the long hair. Scary...]

I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ.

[Pst. Dunny! Look up. The audience is out this way!]

 What are we sneaking around for?

Who are we tryin' to please?
Shruggin' off sin, apologizin'
Like we're spreadin' some kind of disease.

[Note the backup singers they used to have onstage with them.]

I'm sayin' no way!

No way.

[Kevin and his gee-tar.]

[Through the yellow fog I can almost make out Peter! I wonder how many cubic feet of fog the Newsboys have used over the years. Frightening thought...]

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show.

[Jody of the long hair in the background there. Want another view of his mane?]

[Here ya go!]

I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ.

This one says it's a lost cause.
Save your testimony for church time.
The other ones state,
You'd better wait
Until you do a little market research.
I'm sayin' no way!

No way.

I'm not ashamed to let you know.

[Dunny rockin' out with the keyboard. Won't you take him to Funky Town? Wait... wrong keyboardist...]

I want this light in me to show.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ.

[For some reason, I can't seem to be able to pass up these Jody's-hair-in-action shots.]

[And when the editors put together a whole series of Jody's-hair-in-action shots, well... how could I resist?] [And now we get to the instrumental bridge, with Kevin informing us, "Well, you know what they say: God good, devil bad." And shown above is Duncan at a meet-n-greet, clucking like a chicken while hiding behind balloons. Meanwhile, Jody autographs the camera lens.]
[Peter makes some odd gestures, which I dutifully include here.] [John shows off his newly-shaved head, which will receive its own segment later on.]
Peter: "The Newsboys live...

...at church."

[And for those wondering, that's live as in not taped. Peter then leads the group in prayer, including a request for protection onstage. I wonder if he's thinking of that scary drum kit.]

I'm not ashamed to let you know.
I want this light in me to show.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ!

[Well, speaking of the scary drum kit...]

I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ!

   

[Weeee! I sure wouldn't want to do this...]

I'm not ashamed to let you know.
I want this light in me to show.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ!

I'm not ashamed to let you know.

[Yeah, it's Jody's hair again, but more importantly, it's Peter in the background on the spinning drum kit. Ya see him? His head is roughly at 10 or so on a clock.]

   

[ALL the way upside down, and around again it goes.]


I want this light in me to show.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ!

[How much narration does one really need for the spinning drum kit? I think I'll just let you enjoy the sight.]

I'm not ashamed to let you know.

 

[And that's the music video!]

I want this light in me to show.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name
Of Jesus Christ!

 

Next up, watch the Newsboys slave away. You'd think they'd have people who do this for them. Where's Jay?!
