I've done this a couple times ... I'll do it again now

"Go through my interests list and pick one that
1) you know nothing about but sounds intriguing, or
2) you know something about but can't fathom why yours truly would be interested in it, or
3) you know a lot about and love and want to natter on with a kindred spirit and request an explanation (or natter away:-).
Could be fun, could just be a new way to start a conversation."

Tonio was never "born again". If you listen to Rodent Weekend you will hear more songs from his early days with a christian bent than anything he did during his supposed "born again" period. As he said, he was always a christian.

That said, I do not think he has put out a bad record, and I have them all.

I was only ever exposed to one album, the one with "H-A-T-R-E-D" on it, and I was quite impressed. I had heard later that he had gone "born again", and never heard any more about him.

That was from Life In The Foodchain, his first record, which is available on Gadfly records as well (follow the link above) he also has another half dozen or so (I'm too lazy to go look at the moment) out as well.

He got lucky sometime in the late 80s when Vanessa Williams covered one of his songs, which, as he says, put him in a whole new tax bracket.
