[On "the song"]

Moseley: ‘You know, we had a little disagreement. I think what I want to say is, I respect Derek, I respect his art, I enjoy having him [as] a part of the INO family and on the INO roster. But we obviously hit an impasse, and in the midst of the last couple months, there’s been a lot of interesting things go on, and I’m here to tell you that they were all true. I heard somebody say that this really was all a big publicity stunt—not true at all. What it is is an example of grown men who respect each other who disagree, and as Derek has said, somehow take some lemons and a little water and sugar and come up with some lemonade. Right?’

Webb: ‘Yep.’

Moseley: ‘We seem to have done that throughout our history together. We’ve been banned from more Christian bookstores than you probably even know exist. [Laughter, cheers] And, you know what, this record will probably continue that trend. But we’ve come to a compromise—and I appreciate Derek’s part in this—and there are going to be two versions of the record. The record will be releasing, and it will be coming out September first. So we’re very, very pleased about that. Derek’s gonna kind of tell you a little bit about the differences [between] the two things. But I just wanted to say thank you so much for being interested, even though as I read the blogs, and I read some things, a good part of that probably wasn’t real flattering on my part. But I just want to say thanks for your interest and for being here and being supportive of Derek. We think Derek’s a really important artist; at times he’s an agent provocateur. Someone told me, I think it was really about journalism, but we say this about music and art, that hopefully what we do will comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. And Derek knows how to do the latter very well. [Laughter] I love the guy, thank you for coming, September the first, Stockholm Syndrome, two different versions! And I’m sure he will tell you how you can get the one that he calls the “authorized version.” [Laughter] Thank you.’

What a night though, must have been exciting all piling into the van! lol!

I have last night’s introduction/explanation recorded on my phone’s voice memo…if I can only figure out how to move it from phone to micro card…

Wow, Reba, sounds like you had quite the night. I knew something was going to happen, but I had to hurry out of town after the Rutledge to get home to the babysitter. Thanks for posting about it, though.

The stuff that followed was as Derek put it ‘they run a lemonade stand and were making lemonade out of lemons”.

There will be several versions of the album to come out. Derek will release a digital “true” copy with all the tracks. The record label will release an album in September without the track.

Hope that helps clear things up
