Ozzy Interview Chris Ramsey, Jon Trott (Issue 69)   Recently, we got a chance to talk with Ozzy Osbourne (former lead singer for Black Sabbath) as he was passing through Chicago on his latest tour. Although many people might feel that Ozzy is the devil “incarnate,” we found him to be friendly, open to talk, and even likeable. We sat […]

Glenn Kaiser, former lead singer / writer for Resurrection Band as well as Glenn Kaiser Band, just completed his new album “Cardboard Box” (GrrrRecords). As GrrrRecords’ website notes, “A majority of the proceeds of Cardboard Box will be donated to Cornerstone Community Outreach (CCO), a homeless shelter in Chicago.” The album is available online from GrrrRecords.

[This interview includes a list of classes which may no longer completely represent our schedule. They do, however, offer a flavor of what Project 12 offers. — jon] *Curt, the name… what in the world does “Project 12″ mean? The word “Project” means centered on goals and the number 12 evokes the twelve disciples. The goals of Project 12 are: […]

The Children of God today still exist as “The Family International” (TFI) yet to date has not rejected either the aberrant beliefs or practices of their founder, “Moses” David Berg.

[Cornerstone Archives, Issue #44 – 1978] [Wilson Station editor note: This article is a snapshot in time more than most… the communal movement has gone through a very lean time since then — the “me” decade of the 80s saw communes fade — but more recently a resurgence seems to be happening. Perhaps for economic reasons, and perhaps in the […]

Arguably, the Jesus movement as an American 60s counter-cultural event began in 1967 or so and ended by 1973. Arguably, because of course many of us continued on – “beneath the radar” so to speak. We hope to offer some snips from various aspects of the national Jesus Movement as it occured in those early years, and interact with others […]

This article, written over twenty years ago, seems to me a direct response to the recent hysteria generated by Harold Camping’s false prophecy’s re Christ’s Return May 21 2011. A JOYFUL HOPE by Jon Trott [from Cornerstone Issue #67] I feel angry. Angry at those who have made the coming return of Jesus into a joke, angry at Christians who […]

In light of the very sad, but also predictable story about the death of snake-handling preacher Mark Wolford, I don’t really know what to say. Tonio K’s 1986 song “I Handle Snakes” comes to mind as a better answer than I can offer…. the line “It’s my life, it’s my religion” coming about as close as anyone will ever get. […]
