Chad Butler: Switchfoot seeks hope in the face of adversity
But one house in particular stands out. There’s commotion over there.
Someone is pounding on the garage door. It’s an angry kind of pounding and it sounds like there’s shouting too. Can’t make out the words. But they’re not nice words. The pounding is getting louder, more determined, more irritated. And oddly enough, it’s all going unnoticed. Inside the garage little 12-year-old Chad Butler innocently continues about his business, happily grooving away on his drum kit as his faithful Walkman blasts Stevie Wonder tracks through oversized headphones.
Eventually, Mom Butler singles out the sound of the garage door from the rest of the banging and heads outside to calm the upset neighbor. It’s not her fault these walls are so thin, these houses so close. She’s sorry for the disturbance — again. It won’t happen again — again. And her plea works for now. As she raises the garage door her son finally breaks his groove and it takes only one look from mom for him to know: too loud. Again? Dang. He was just getting started.
