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
From youth I'd constantly heard that "God is love". Finally occurred to me to ask ... what if He would have been something else?
Lyrics
(v.1) It's all headed toward wherever God says Though sometimes it seems like evil has won. Sinners and Saints and Satan himself Have no say in the final outcome. (bridge 1) And since there's a God who is in control There something about him that's nice to know... (chorus) Of all the things God might have been Of all the things that might have sparked creation I'm so glad that it turns out That love is God's foundation. He could have been hate. He could have been greed. Just think where that would have put us. Instead the maker is made of love And that can only be good for us. Of all the things God might have been Love is why he will win. (v.2) We can all taste of how it will be. With love as our guide we'll sample God's best. If love is the thing that wins in the end Why face our life with anything less? (bridge 2) Maybe we'll learn a reason someday Why God could have been no other way. (bridge 3) He is not vicious, he isn't sadistic, He isn't unstable, prone to going ballistic. (chorus)
