Larry Norman? Fucking Genius.



I want to start by saying that Christianity isn't real. Jesus doesn't exist and the bible isn't true. With that out of the way, I am going on record that I think Larry Norman was a total fucking genius. A Folk-Rock god. While he's clearly no Neil Young or Warren Zevon, it would not be untoward to speak his name in an antecedent sentence to one mentioning them.

I've been listening to "Upon This Rock", "Only Visiting This Planet" and "In Another Land" quite a bit this week. I only like about 1/2 the songs on any given album, but the good ones are great. Nay, fucking awesome. Maybe I'll just make myself a comp. It makes me deeply sad that Norman wasted his prodigious gift on christian rock (though I'm sure he wouldn't call it a waste). There's a new doc out about him that I'm interested in seeing, it's called Fallen Angel.
