Keith Green and Rich Mullins celebrate another posthumous birthday.
In the world of Contemporary Music their are few bigger names than Keith Green and Rich Mullins. Admittedly, there are literally bigger names as the aforementioned take up only 5 combined syllables and fit comfortably on the 1/3 of the first line of this text. Their actual names may be small but their impact on the lives of believers has been great indeed,
Keith Green share many of the same attributes including the same birthday, today, October 21st (Keith in 1953, and Rich in 1955). They were both gifted musicians and lyricists. They both were outspoken in their faith and counter cultural in their approach to ministry. They also died very young in vehicular accidents.
Due to a plane crash in 1982, Keith Green did not live to see his 30th birthday and Mullins who covered a Green song on the 1992 tribute album No Compromise died in a car crash in 1997, just over a month before his 42nd birthday.
Green before his conversion to Christianity was headed to a career as a rock and roll teen sensation. The below footage is from a guest appearance on the panel show I've got a Secret when he was 11 years old. After revealing his secret The youngster performs one of the songs he composed.
It is no secret that the music, the vulnerability, and the passion of both Green and Mullins has informed my own journey. It is fitting that they shared the same birthday , the same passion for Christ and the same method of expressing that passion. They also share a place in my heart for how their music and ministry still inspires me to this day.
