Bruce Cockburn-Pacing the Cage tonight on Vision TV

“If I try to understand what it means to be a Christian, I look at the two instructions that were given in the Bible that are paramount, and those are to love God with all your heart and mind, and to love your neighbour as yourself. That’s it.” -Bruce Cockburn

Tonight I watched a Vision TV documentary on Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn, called Pacing the Cage, which is the title of one of his songs on his The Charity of Night album. I was rather disappointed with the documentary for at least a couple of reasons. i) The documentary was annoyingly interrupted by way too many commercials and that broke the flow of thought and conversation. ii) There were too many fragmented sound bites, without a lengthy, in depth conversation, which I would have appreciated, and I’m sure Bruce is capable of. On the upside, I was amazed at the high quality of Bruce’s live concerts—he still has the gift and after more than 40 years, he's sharing it with the world! Thank God for that! For those who missed it, you can check this link out over at Vision TV.
