Since I wrote my "Overweight Pastors" blog post I’ve been trying to get back into the gym and get my rear in shape, if for no other reason than I’m tired of my daughters telling me I have “moobies”— a.k.a. “man boobies.”
But getting there consistently and moving iron around has been difficult, and I’ve been trying to figure out why.
Then it hit me: Enya and David Crowder don’t really get my adrenal glands pumping!
I knew what I needed to do. This week I went to Itunes and downloaded some of the early 80’s head-banging heavy metal music my mom hated me listening to when I was a kid.
Here’s what I put on my Ipod:
Kiss: Rock and Roll All Nite
Van Halen: Runnin’ With the Devil, You Really Got Me, Panama
Iron Maiden: Run To The Hills
Rush: Closer to the Heart, Freewill, The Spirit of Radio, Tom Sawyer
The last group I added was my favorite from the 80’s -- Judas Priest. Here’s what I downloaded from them:
Judas Priest: You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’, Breaking The Law, Living After Midnight
Now I'm running around the weight room like a madman on speed, bobbing my head up and down with the music blaring. No more moobies for this pastor. I found the secret: Judas Priest and my banned 80's rock music!
Sorry mom.
(P.S. -- It wasn't until a few years ago that I found out that the lead singer for Judas Priest, Rob Halford, was gay. Evidently hanging out with guys in leather, whips, and chains didn't tip me off.)

What no Stryper?
I always though you as a Carrie Underwood/Josh Grobin type of dude..this is refreshing. One day you look at a penis at the movies, then the next day your banging your head to heavy metal music...you are human...just kidding.
Three things:
Kiss, Van Halen and Iron Maiden all sprung forth in the 70's. You sure you're not trying to lie about your age?
Rush came out with a smashing album in 2007. Far Cry (music video can be seen by clicking here - make sure to check out Howard Stern's twin brother) was a great single off that album. So good that it might be worth downloading (just make sure no one is around while working out because the sheer rage of the song might cause you to push someone in the face.
And lastly, why www.moviechurch.com. Random, I know. I've been searching for the meaning but to no avail.
I have a secret obsession for 80's rock music. Ok, for those that know me, it's not much of secret!
what no Ozzy? Try Crazy Train, man. You'll be cut in no time. Or hungry for bats maybe.
