Short story:

In the wake of serious drug problems, 50's rock'n'roll and pop idol Dion DiMucci converts to Christianity.

Full article:

Dion : I was at an all time mental and spiritual bottom. Out of depression, we moved to Miami, looking for a fresh start. There, I would have the surprise of my life: I got to see God work through my father-in-law, Jack. Jack helped fan into flames the gift of God that was in me through the laying on of hands at my confirmation. I said a prayer one night there in Jack's home: "God I need your help." I was delivered from the obsession to drink and drug; it was just lifted off me like a weight. On that day, April 1, 1968, I became aware of God's power, even before I became aware of His reality.
