This week’s Rockucation question is:
This shock rocker fought off his demons and became a born again Christian. His father was a preacher. He has weekly bible studies even while he tours. While religious, he states that there is nothing in the bible that says he can’t do what he does, which is bringing horror to the concert stage. He also has a radio show and is well known celebrity golfer. Who is he?
