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
An attempt to lyrically put God first. Both verses address particular stumbling blocks I was facing at the time, and still have to occasionally deal with even today.
Lyrics
(v.1) Sometimes I wonder what I would have done If all of my old fears had ever happened. But when I'm thinking those kind of thoughts I'm just thinking of myself, and not about God Sometime I think I need some fun. I deserve a break and some relaxation. But breaks aren't relaxing when I should be somewhere else Obeying God instead of myself. (chorus) NMS, God has a better way. NMS, there is just one voice to obey. And I'm learning, Lord, what you want from me. And I won't be happy 'til You own my heart completely, And there's NMS. I'll be serving God today. (v.2) Gotta stop eating until I'm stuffed. Got to learn to stop when I've had enough. Gotta stay sharp even after a meal, So if someone needs help I'm not fighting how I feel. Got to watch out with my musical skill And keep it in line with God's will. 'Cause when self glory slips into the plan The door that God opened gets tarnished by my hand. (chorus)
