Toby Mac in local Allentown PA paper

The Morning Call - a local Allentown paper - has up a nice article on Toby Mac, the main draw of the Fallout 2005 concert.

''I think people get turned off immediately by the word 'rap,' by the words 'hip-hop,' '' says tobyMac, 40.
''But I think that's just a part of the journey that different people are on. I mean, I think people begin to realize that you can glorify God, you can talk about anything you want, in any style of music. I don't think you can limit what kind of music God can breathe through, and what kind of music we can worship him with.
''I think it's a matter of the heart of the artist as you're creating. I think if you love that music, you could pull that music out of associating yourself with a gang. I think if you love rock music, you can pull that music out without associating yourself with 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.'

Toby seems to be a good spokesman for the Christian message and for getting outsiders to accept Christian rock. And, from what I hear from the weekend, he is a genuinely nice guy. (Even when a certain unnamed quiz teamer interrupts the middle of a basketball game to get a picture.)
