| | Larry Norman "The Long Journey Home" |
 | | Twenty years ago today, or thereabouts, it was Larry Norman and not Sgt, Pepper that was creating a new song. |
 | | Norman, with his recognizable long white hair and an ever-constant smile, gave life to rock 'n' roll that spoke to us about the world's sad brokenness and God's consistent love, in poetry that transcended as comfortable language of the church and in music that shook the streets. |
 | | The gospel message is best spoken in the freshness of cultural significance, and the language most often spoken since the '50s is a vernacular of guitars, drums, rhythm and soul, and Larry Norman is one of the people that has made it happen. |
