Soloist. Songwriter/singer. ASCAP member. A NICE WITNESS FOR CHRIST There is an extensive interview of me done by Scott Crawford, at . Do not let the site name alarm you. It is an "adult-themed music and entertainment" site. It is not a porn site, and you will not get tagged for spam if you go there. Scott is a journalist of integrity, who asked pertinent and penetrating questions, then printed my answers verbatim. Both God and His son received much attention in the interview. REVIEWS: "Fancy keyboard playing is the backdrop for this positive and upbeat collection. Hackley's vocals are reminiscent of Burl Ives." Review by Brent Castillo, The Wichita Eagle, March 5, 2005. "world's wimpiest Christian rocker". Brother Russell Podcast; : INFLUENCES (a very lengthy list, ending with...) "and of course, Richard Hackley." "Yet the songs on the Worst of the Worst can be compelling in their awfulness. Songs like Richard Hackley's rabble-rousing, hackles-raising spiritual God's Backhand ("We're not talking about tennis or Ping-Pong!") "; "Richard Hackley... HUGE musical influence. And a real bad mofo live.";

Story behind the song
Expansion of Acts 11:26, where the word 'Christian' was first coined.
Lyrics
(v.1) A word born two thousand years ago After the Savior let Paul know That the new birth had something too good to be true, That when you're born again, it's Christ in you. Thus the word… Christian. (v.2) Evil has never stopped degrading that name To embarrass Christians into silent shame That for their belief in a silly new birth Christians don’t deserve any space on earth. Christian. In your heart you must be strong For being Christian is not being wrong. (v.3) Christians, to God, you’re a beautiful sight, A display of hope, a beam of light, To shine the Gospel in every niche of the earth, To spread eternal life through a silly new birth. Christian. Remember who you are … A carrier of the Morning Star. (v.4) So, Christians, be proud of your label. It’s so descriptive of what makes you able. This word from the first century Tells you what you have internally. Christian. You’ve got a treasure inside And a badge to wear with godly pride. And in the end when the Bible proves true You’ll be glad you had Christ in you.
