Every once and a while, I'll be sharing some of what I would like this blog to accomplish via Fr. Barron.
Fr. Barron and the "Geek Priest" from Holland have really inspired this blog to connect pop culture and Christianity.
I hope that you get as much out of my commentaries as you do from at least 10% of Fr. Barron's.
Below is a commentary of his favorite singer, Bob Dylan (Blowing in the Wind and Rolling Stone).

Huey Lewis and the News' The Power of Love Part I
Huey Lewis and the News' The Power of Love is my second favorite song of this '80's band. It feels electric like the '80's movie for which is was produced, Back to the Future (Michael J. Fox).
It also seems like a Gospel song. Listen to the lyrics. There really is no specific mention of a love interest. The "help from above" line could be help from the Holy Spirit to feel The Power of Love.
One can be rich or poor since anyone can receive the Power of Love sent especially in the sacraments of baptism and confirmation. It makes "a bad one" or "a wrong one" or "a hawk" into a new person.
The band has more explicitly religious lines in other songs, but this one may take the cake for the most overall holy song that they produced. McFly's family would be proud.
