It’s alright browski.

I’ve been reading “day by day”, the biography of Stevie Ray Vaughan. It’s an almost day to day biography of his life and career compiled from production notes and journal entries, filled up with general information and anecdotes from friends and family. It’s extremely interesting and he seemed to be a real stand up guy too, had a really good reputation both personally and professionally. Seemed to be really caring and treated people with respect. Refreshing to read of a famous (possibly rock star status towards the end of his life,) musician who was actually a decent human being.

Kings James Version? Pfft. New Revised Standard Version or bust.

eh. New International Version or New Living Translation.
2011 NIV is fine. I’m not picky about it being the '84 NIV like some people might be.

New King James Version might be “poetic”, but I imagine that wasn’t the intent of the original authors of the scrolls/books (outside of Psalms and Song of Solomon, obviously). KJV has also been said to be the least accurate translation, but is widely popular because a) there is no copyright; and b) it was the first ever english translation widely available to the public at large.

and c) Too those of us that have used it since childhood, it just sounds and feels right. I am not a KJV onlyist, but there is just something about the KJV.

Is it the inaccuracies that really hit home to you?
