Geof Morris: Derek, it’s been interesting of late to see people on our forum and I guess on yours as well from (the level that I’ve?) looked into it——obviously you come from a theological tradition over the last couple of years that’s fairly conservative, and people are seeing you appear at a conference [with] Jim Wallis, who’s sort of a hot button with people that are pretty conservative—and I think—and this is my own thinking here—some of it , I just wonder how much they’ve really ever listened to or tried to read of him, and they’ve just sort of prejudged—

Derek Webb: Sure.

GM: Which is fine…because people are going to do that. everybody’s got a limited amount of time, so you’re going to go off of what other people say about somebody.

So—are you kinda worried about that controversy, or are you just letting it roll off your back, and going on and doing what you think is important?

DW: Well—yeah. I don’t have—Here’s the deal. It’s interesting how quickly people who will applaud your singing a song like “Nobody Loves Me” like, “I don’t give a damn what anybody is saying, it’s about what I do, and as far as I feel like what I’m doing is the Lord’s business—” they’ll applaud you at one moment—and then at another moment, when whatever you are doing doesn’t happen to line up with what they would like for you to be doing, suddenly they are real bent out of shape about it. Because sometimes the “Nobody” that I’m referring to are different people than other times.

GM: Right
