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
After being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer, there was much frustration in my mind. This song openly discusses as much of the frustration as I could fit into the time span of the song. The song also discusses what I was doing wrong, that allowed so much frustration to exist.
Lyrics
(setting) I needed a healing so I turned to Jesus Christ The one who bought our right to live a healthy life. No miracle came and fear began to grow. So when I would talk to the savior impatience began to show. (futile tactics attempted) I asked him how could this happen when I'd lived so faithfully. I reasoned with him to heal me to continue my ministry. I reminded him of my Biblical labor and faulted him for not rewarding me appropriate favor. I criticized him for not beseeching the Father to preserve me. I scolded him for slow results and too much uncertainty. I court-martialed him for Falling asleep, for dropping his guard For letting me get hit so hard. (results) But I failed to force Jesus Christ to act upon my problem. All my leverage didn't move a thing. Finally I saw what was going on I was doing everything but trust him. (chorus/lesson) When you are trusting you aren't preoccupied With suggesting to the saviour that maybe he has lied. When you are trusting Christ is the answer, not the question. When you are trusting you're not thinking you've been wronged Your job is not to judge but to keep being strong. When you are trusting You are not tense, there is no suspense. v.2 I did not get my miracle so I went through surgery. "God works thru doctors." That's what they all told me. But I still believed that surgery was Plan B. For Jesus never used a knife nor anesthesiology. (summation) But, despite all my rants and my ravings The Lord is still getting his way. Despite all my early accusations, I'm still alive today.
