Mooooove in Closer...
With lyrics full of satire and sarcasm, Steve Taylor was a bit of an oddball in the 80s Christian Music scene. That's why I loved his stuff!

The Second Chance
Steve talking about The Second Chance, his directorial debut:
"You ever see Alec Baldwin play Jimmy Swaggart in Great Balls of Fire? It was so awful-a total caricature and an embarrassment. I'm sure he would agree, because he's an awesome actor. It was a great example of why Hollywood doesn't seem to understand the Christian culture. Then Robert Duvall came around, saying for years that nobody ever gets it right, that he was going to do it right. He made The Apostle, and he nailed the Southern Pentecostal scene, using local people and a small budget to do a great job. I wouldn't want to be directly compared with that movie, but that was the gold standard. Our aspirations were to try and approach that kind of realism and authenticity."
