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

This is a salute to the power quip ... those one-liners that are so potent with meaning and truth they can pick us back up when we need it.
The "ONE-UPmanship" I'm encouraging is not over people, but over life.

Lyrics

(c) Stand back up	one more time	than you went down.

(v1)
We have a memory				to store tools of victory,
Inspiration to address			whatever is our current stress.
Store some winning words up there. 	Then if life gets tough to bear,
Refresh yourself w/a power quip.	Maintain your ONE-UPmanship.

(c) Stand back up	one more time	than you went down.

(v2)
There's lots of wisdom here		to summon strength, to silence fear.
Poems, books, hanging signs,		a treasury of powerful lines.
Find some quips that fit you right,	keep them in plain sight.
Feast on them whenever you slip.	Maintain your ONE-UPmanship.

(c) Stand back up		one more time	than you went down.
(c2) Stand back up	one more time.	Stand back up.
(instrumental)

(v3)
Life tries to make you lose.		All of us walk in those shoes.
If perhaps there is a fall,			what comes next is your call.
If life swings 98 times			You swing back 99.
Refresh yourself w/a power quip.	Maintain your ONE-UPmanship.

(c) Stand back up		one more time	than you went down.
(c2) Stand back up	one more time.	Stand back up.
