He has finally been able to come to terms with his past and in the process it has given him a new outlook on the future. On a rainy spring night in the college town of Champaign, Illinois, I witnessed a man who has reached the highest highs and some of the lowest lows, he’s been to hell and back only now in 2004 is he rising like a Phoenix from the ashes. There are always lessons to be learned which are essential to having us move forward-I believe there are no mistakes in life, only “experiences”. The key is to not dwell on the past it’s over and done with but it is equally important not to ignore it altogether. As humans, we all too often do not acknowledge that we have a hard time coming to grips with our pasts. On April 10th, 2004, Holy Saturday, I witnessed a different kind of resurrection from a man who has always been a distinguished musician, yet who has been unwilling to embrace or acknowledge his past for the better part of a decade. Every spring, around the world, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ over a three-day weekend culminating with his rise from the dead on Easter Sunday.
