Overcoming
language
barrier at HPU
miPi
James Dunning
To alleviate confusion and lo
move beyond this language barrier I
have composed a list of relatively
useful terms (most of them) from both
California and Texas so that I maybe
able to speak more freely and we all
may understand each other. I am
neither a linguistic nor an English
specialist but here we go anyway:
awesome - (ah-sum) adj. Used in
everyday speech to describe
somcthingasbeingreally.reallyneat;
also used in the Bible in reference to
God (who by the way is also really
really neat!)
cool - (cool) adj. 1. Used to replace
phrases like "I guess so" and "Fine
by me." 2. Synonym to the word
"bad" (bad meaning good not bad
meaning bad). Something Michael
Jackson is not. 3. Decline in outside
temperature that causes a person to
wear a light jacket or spend most of
the day curled up in bed.
dude - (d(xxl) n. 1. Friendly reference
to another individual. 2. Used to
describe feelings of surprise
agreement or immense pain.
Editorial note: "dude" will mean
different things when used in (a)
different contexts and (b) different
vocal inflections
fixin' - (fix-in) adj. Meant to replace
words and phrases like "preparing" or
"getting ready to". Used regularly in
Texas and other fine Southern places.
Editorial note: If it ain't broke stop
fixin' it!.
groovy - (groovc-y) adj. Retro term
usually associated with the 60s
hippies or the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely
Hearts Club album.
stoked (stokd) adj. 1 . To stir up or
mix embers of a fire. 2. Common
term used in California to express
excitement for or anticipation about a
certain forthcoming event
synonym:
ya'll (yawl) n. Pronoun used to
describe more than one person when
speaking about a group. Used widely
throughout the United States of
America by most citizens who
couldn't even spell it to save their
own pathetic economic-striken
lives.
Hope these help to quench another
thirst you didn't really have to begin
with!
Legend Seven running on Blind Faith
by Mark Shane
Contributing Writer
Legend Seven formerly Leg-
end has released their sophmore
albmBlind Faith.on Word records.
This hard driving guitar screaming
lung busting quartet has a straight on
approach forgoing all the frills and
studio tricks.
Legend was concicvcd by vo-
calist Andy Denton bassist Randy
Ray. drummer Billy Williams and
guitarist Mike Jacobs with the mission
of pointing others to Christ by con-
veying the poignant story of God's
love through hard rock music.
The word "legend" was chosen
for its double meaning of a story that
is passed from generation to genera-
tion and its use as a key that gives
definition and direction to a map.
After discovering that another band
was operating under the same name.
Legend opted to add Seven God's
perfect number to their name feeling
it better described their purpose.
This album reveals a more per-
sonal side of the band as they rely on
personal experience and growth in
crafting their themes and lyrics.
"We have learned about faith
trusting God in what we do in good of
bad situations" says Billy Williams
hence the title Blind Faith.
Mike Jacobs added "Our expe-
riences this past year have caused us
Two Hearts ready to
Give 'Em the Word
by James Dunning
Associate Editor
Give 'Em the Word is the
sophomore effort by an inspiring and
sensational husband-wife duo Two
Hearts. It is packed full of high energy
R&B tunes and strong beautifully
tender ballads with intelligent lyrics
and vivacious melodies.
Two Hearts began when Carrie
McDowell a former Motown artist
met an accomplished L.A. guitar
player and her future husband
Michael Hodge. The two fell in love
and in 1988 Two Hearts was formed.
In 1992 Star Song signed the duo and
they exploded onto the contemporary

to focus a little more inward on our
relationship with the Lord not somuch
as trying to preach to someone else."
Legend Seven has often been
compared to Pctra. The song writing
and Mike Jacob's guitar playing sound
like a mixture between old Pctra and
Guardian's bluesy rock style and
Andy Denton's high pitch vocals arc
reminiscent of former Pctra vocalist
Greg X. Vol cutting through the air
with strong clarity.
The opening cut. "Refuge" has a
great opening solo sure to grab any
rockfan'sattention."BurningDesirc"
has a bass solo a rarity in Christian
music with a 70's feel and "Shoot
Straight Johhny" has a bluesy rock
feel reminiscent of Gaurdian. But
their ballads deserve most of the merit.
"Call On Me" has a lovely
melody and is backed up by a stringed
orchestration that touches the heart.
"First Love" is full of emotion
and is complimented by a simple pi-
ano melody. Andy Denton says "I
sat down one day and was just writing
out the verses. I thought about my life
and how sometimes we get so busy
doing our own thing that we forget
that Jesus is supposed to be our first
love. He's supposed to be our ev-
erything. "Be Still" the last cut on side
two is a psalm in itself praising God
for His unfailing love and guidance
reminders of His command in Psalm
Christian music scene with their debut
album. Stand Your Ground. Now the
two arc back with a new and more
poweful album.
The title trackcombinesCarrie's
subtle yet demanding vocals with
Michael's funky guitar playing. The
song describes the challenge that
Carrie and Michael arc taking to the
street this year get into God's Word
and let the Truth set you free.
Heart-felt ballads abound in this
album; from the convicting "Going
Home" to the soulful re-make of Scott
Wesley Brown's "He Will Carry You."
These soft touching songs combine
Carrie's melodic voice and Michael's
mastery of acoustic guitar.

Legend Seven is Andy Denton Randy
46:10 "be still and know that I am
God".
This album does display some
good musicianship. Andy Denton's
vocals captures the listner and Randy
Ray's bass is strong and punchy but
the album also has some flaws musi-
cally. There is little variety in the al-
bum as far as structure goes. Every
Two Hearts is Michael and Carrie Hodge.
On the flip side of the album
Two Hearts kicks rhythm and blues
rock sounds with heavy lyrics and
basic pop drum tracks.
