Isaacs Release "Big Sky" To Country Radio
“Big Sky”, the song, does not have a gospel message. It is a song that has “a great melody and is a lot of fun”, Lily smiles, “Its like being in wide open spaces where you can breath, where heaven can shine down on you, a great feeling”. Although this song doesn’t have a Gospel message it serves an important part in spreading the Gospel.
The Isaacs Reaching The Lost With Song
Lily explains, “I think if you grab someone’s attention with good music and lyrics they will listen” to the rest of the album. “What more would the Lord ask of us than to go out to the lost and dying world and tell them, ‘Hey, there is hope for you through Jesus. There are people out there that care about you’”.
“The Bible speaks of the ninety-nine that are in the fold and the one without. If we can win just one person (to Christ) through song by getting them to listen to a song like “Big Sky” and then listening to the rest of the album and hearing songs like, ‘Love Is A Cross’ then hopefully our goal will be accomplished.”
I asked Lily if she was concerned that her long time Christian fans might think that the Isaacs are abandoning their Gospel roots. “I hope that we wouldn’t (lose any fans) because I almost feel like this is what God said in His Word when he said for us to go out into the highways and hedges and compel. That does not mean that we have to compromise our message. But it does mean that we need to go out there and pull in the people that don’t know (Christ).”
Lily Isaacs’ Jewish Heritage
“Its never our intention to go out into the world and be the world, but I believe it’s part of God’s plan to go out into the world and present the Message”, Lily reflected. “Being Jewish, being raised in a Jewish home, I know what it is like to pound someone over the head and say ‘you’ve got to hear me out – I know Jesus’ because I was rejected simply because I accepted Jesus into my heart and when a young baby in the Lord, I really tried to explain my life to my people, my family and it backfired on me and I was rejected for a long time. But I learned through the hard knocks of life that you can not go out there and beat someone over the head with the message of Salvation.”
“What you need to do is live a life in front of them where they will want what you have and however you do that is up to the individual. But when troubles come and times get hard and they look at you as an example, that’s when you can really sow the seeds of kindness. So speaking from experience I think that we would get a lot more people involved in our churches if we would use love, hope and encouragement and say ‘Hey, it doesn’t matter what you came from, we’re here to help you, we’re here because we care.”
The first song from the new Isaacs album, “Big Sky” may be a future hit on Country radio, but the heart of the Isaacs is still clearly to reach the lost with the Gospel of Christ through their incredible music.
“I love serving the Lord and I know that it is the only thing that’s going to matter when it’s all said and done. That’s the only thing that’s going to last forever.” Lily concluded. It’s this heart that shines through all of the music on the Isaacs’ “Big Sky”.

Note: ‘Big Sky” contains many songs that do contain the Gospel message. Some of my favorites include, “Love Is A Cross” and “The One I’m Dying For”. “Big Sky” may be the finest Isaacs’ album to date.

Korn Planting New Metal Underground Roots and Growing a Rock & Roll Empire
Korn self-titled the new album, which was a wild combination of hip-hop, funk, punk rock and heavy metal. After the album’s release, Korn hit the road for an intense bout of concert dates. Korn packed venue after venue and their fan base exploded. By 1995, Korn was in the position to open for rock legend, Ozzy Osbourne. This single event threw Korn into the public eye and ensured their place in mainstream rock. Korn’s second album ‘Life Is Peachy’, debuted in 1996. In the first week alone, the album sold more than 100,000 copies and soared up the charts to the number 3 spot. In support of the new album, Korn went on tour with Metallica. They continued to make rock fans want more when they performed with Tool in 1997 at the Lalapalooza Music Festival. Then, in 1997, Korn formed their own successful record label called, Elementree Records. Korn released their third album, ‘Follow The Leader’ in the fall of 1998. It was a resounding success, shooting up the charts, straight to number one. Two singles, “Got The Life” and “Freak On A Leash” were wildly popular in the mainstream music world. Both song videos were heavily requested on MTV and ‘Freak On A Leash’ even won the band a Grammy Award for Best Music Video, Short Form.
The video also won the band nine different MTV video awards the same year. In support of their new album, Korn started the ‘Family Values Tour’. Korn was the headline act for the tour, which turned out to be highly successful. Incubus, Orgy, Limp Bizkit, Ice Cube, and Rammstein toured with Korn. The following year, the tour resumed, but Korn only made surprise appearances, instead leaving the headline to Limp Bizkit. For the band’s fourth album, they let fans submit artwork through MTV. The winner’s artwork was featured on the ‘Issues’ album when it was released in 1999. Korn became one of the only all-white groups to play at the Apollo in support of the new album. To a full house, Korn played the entire album, end to end with the help of some NYPD musicians and house back-up singers. It wasn’t until 2002 that Korn released another album.
Although ‘Untouchables’ debuted at number 3 on the charts, it wasn’t nearly as successful as the previous albums were. Overall, the album did well though and the single ‘Here To Stay’ even won Korn a Grammy for Best Rock Performance. Korn’s ‘Greatest Hits Vol 1′ debuted in 2004. It hit the charts solidly at #4 and sold like mad. A compilation of covers and Korn’s hits over the previous 10 years. One of the singles was actually a medley of the three parts of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall”. A remix of their hit single “Freak on a Leash” also made it onto the album as a bonus track. By 2005 Korn’s musical enterprise was growing and they entered into a very unique contract with Virgin Records. Virgin paid the band a reported $25 million dollars up front with a 30% future royalty agreement tacked on. Virgin would then get a portion of all Korn’s merchandising and ticket sales. It was a deal that neither side could refuse.
Korn’s first album for Virgin, ‘See You on the Other Side’, was released in late 2005. The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200. The first single from the album, “Twisted Transistor” peaked at #3 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Tracks. The second single, “Coming Undone”, was accompanied by a wild video with special effects never seen before.
Korn set out on the ‘See You On The Other Side’ tour in support of the album. The tour kicked off in the bands hometown of Bakersfield, where the mayor declared it ‘Korn Day’ which is Feb. 26 for those who wish to celebrate. The tour was eventually canceled though when Davis fell ill. Korn’s untitled eighth album was released on July 31, 2007, and once again topped the charts, debuting at number 2. The singles “Evolution”, “Hold On” and “Kiss” have all been quite successful releases. “Hold On” and “Kiss” both managed to get into the top 10 on the charts, keeping Korn in the mainstream. Rumor has it that Korn will be recording a new album later this year. The yet-to-be titled 9th studio album from the band should be released sometime in fall of 2009. It’s also rumored that Korn will once again hit the touring circuit with the ‘Family Values Tour’ on behalf of the album.

How to Create a Series of Audio Interviews With Experts in Your Field
Then you create 15 questions to ask each one of your experts. You’ll use the same 15 questions for each interview.
You then recorded each one of your interviews and have them transcribed and put to a CD format. You also will save the interview as an mp3 file do it can be downloaded from a web site.
After you do the interview with each one of your experts something happens that is magical.
You have build trust and report with each one of your experts. Because of this each one of your experts will probably find this collection of interviews very valuable.
If you have picked the right kind of experts for your interview series, each one will have a list of subscribers and buyers.
Now you have a good chance to get your expert to promote the interview series to the list of subscribers.
This is called a joint venture. All you do is make each one of your experts an offer.
You can say something like this… “Mr. Expert, we have published a wonderful interview together and I’m sure you want to share this interview with your subscribers and buyers.
Remind him that you have four other interviews with experts in his same field that his subscribers may be willing to buy.
Tell him you want to make a deal. Say that you have published four additional interviews with other experts in your field on how each was able to build a six figure business in 18 months.
Would you like to offer this series of expert interviews to your list and we can share in the profits for each set that we sell?
You can pay fifty percent of the gross sales to the expert and you keep fifty percent for your self.
In this example, you did not have to own a website, you’ve done interview with the experts, they each have a list of subscribers, you own and control the information product and now you’ve got a product that you can sell doing joint ventures.
This is the most powerful method for making money with interviews for the beginner.
