I have to admit, 12:00 Rock on KPFK (http://www.kpfk.org) was a prime source of music motivation for me all through the 80's and into the 90's.During some of those years, I stayed up for the entire show, then listened to another punk rock show that came on at 3:00 a.m. Right around 6:00 a.m., Prince Dixon took over the airwaves with some kick butt gospel.I started to look forward to Prince Dixon and became a silent fan. He had some successors who tried to keep the show alive when he became ill but it was never the same. I'm proud to say I was able to visit Prince Dixon in the convalescent home before he passed.I wonder if he realizes all the different types of people he impacted across Los Angeles? Anyway, he kicked off my love for gospel and I know that if he was alive, he would play Deitrick Haddon. Since he can't, I will.The track "God Didn't Give Up" is awesome. Overall, the song is about how while all us humans are busy judging, categorizing, neglecting and abandoning each other, God is ready to take us back any moment, no questions asked and without judgment. I like that idea, it works for me.
