John Fischer (Counterculture vs Subculture)

John Fischer was making “Jesus Music” in the mid-1960s – before it was even a “thing.” At a recent live event in Fullerton California, JJT invited Fischer to join the conversation and talk about those early countercultural days and how it all came together. Before there was an industry, a genre, or even a movement, there were kids with guitars and a desire to experience God in a meaningful, tangible way. Fischer went on to become one of the accidental innovators of a new style of music. But when the counterculture became a subculture – and a movement became a market – he never lost that fire in his belly. What might the counterculture of the 60s have to tell us about our troubled times today – and what might a new Jesus Movement look – and sound – like if it was to break out now?
