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
The love in which Jesus walked made him strong, fearless, safe ... unreachable by the devil*. It also gave Jesus the ultimate offense against attacks. These protections, that so many of us pay money to acquire, are actually available in higher quality, and for free ... if we are willing to discipline ourselves to match the love that Jesus demonstrated. * Yes, Jesus was crucified ... but only because he offered himself. The devil never touched Jesus until Jesus let him.
Lyrics
(v.1) When Jesus arrived at the coast, two possessed men met him out of the caves. These guys were both exceeding fierce so that no man could pass that way. But Jesus didn’t back down, or look for another route. He faced those men, and their need, and he drove those devil spirits out. (c) The only one who can back hate down is someone sold on love. (v.2) The scribes & the Pharisees and doctors of law tried to trap Jesus time after time. Trying to get him to stumble at first, then later just to get him crucified. But Jesus had no problems dealing with their attitude. He kept turning their traps back on them in front of all the multitudes. (c) The only one who can back hate down is someone sold on love. (bridge) So if you want to learn tough, learn how to love. If you want to learn strength, learn how to love, ‘cause... (c) The only one who can back hate down is someone sold on love.
