 Larry Norman passing away..... |
     |
Larry sang about death and dying and heaven quite alot. I suppose we all thought he might live forever. If he was a cat, his 9 lives would have been up long ago. God had the grace to let Larry finish what he started and brought him home when it was time. It still is a shock to think that he's gone. I've seen larry at his best and at his worst. he was a force to be reckoned with. His music will live on and like so many others (Keith green Rich Mullins, Mark Heard & Roby Duke) we will miss the creative juice that flowed freely from his veins and into our hearts. I know some had issues with his ways, but lots happened in music because of stuff he did. Let's look at the positive impact he had on so many lives and strive to reach others with our art (even when we're moody, unrealistic, self serving and down right nasty). Hey, it's all about being human and being ourselves in the "good, the bad and the ugly" stages of life. Larry was an enigma wrapped in an enigma. I guess like most artists, moody, unpredictable, forgetful and silly. It's what made Larry Larry.
The funeral is on Saturday. Details @ www.larrynorman.com I can't go... Short staffed at work and no money/ gas/ time to get there.
The music lives on, just like Daniel Amos, Lost Dogs, Swirling Eddies, 77's will after all is said and done. Let's create great art and look forward to heaven.
