Friends, Not sure if this link will work. What follows are excerpts from an incredible interview with Larry Norman in 2005. He addresses his misdiagnosed heart attack, Mark Heard, Randy Stonehill, the music industry, his own percieved worst traits, funniest person he knew (Mark Heard), origi...

I'm so very, very glad Larry died in the bosom of his beloved, devoted family -who loved and cared for him so beautifully and knew him like NO-ONE else ever did. Take care of each other, great care. Believe me, I know the enormous cost to you as he went about our Father's business!!! Every refreshin...

Hi my name is Aaron. I'm 15 and about a month ago my dad had me listen to Larry Norman. I fell in love with his music right away, and it was all I listned to. I loved Reader's Digest, and the Great American Novel. My dad pulled out a old Larry Norman concert video and I loved it. I loved Larry's humor, and person...

Larry Norman had a lot of guts...I remember the rejection he received at the hands of the established Church in the late 1960's becuase of his music. Misunderstood by the Christian masses; thoroughly understood by the underground Church...--JB

Steve, UK

Reading so many of the comments from musicians on this fantastic thread site who say that they have covered live or recorded Larry's songs has set me thinking. Would it be a nice idea for some of us to put together a CD of our own versions of Larry's songs and send them to Charles and family as our little tri...

In 1981 I sat with a beautiful woman in the Birlin National Stadium. Larry Norman sang his exquisite melodies and then I turned to this lady friend and asked her to marry me. Three fabulous children and 27 years later my life is blessed. I wonder how much I owe to Larry

Larry Norman changed my life back in 1977, he was one on many Christian music artists that lead me to Christ and started my walk and journey with God. His music has left lasting inroads in my life and in my faith. I had the wonderful pleasure of seeing, meeting and joining him for dinner with many friends &...

On November 17th, 2007 I played a gig at a place in Saginaw, Michigan called Jamestowne Hall, a place where alcohol is banned from the shows so that all ages are able to attend the shows. The show did contain mostly secular acts but I was not the only Christian who performed as the lead singer of the main ac...

Although I have fallen away from God; the joy, art, message, kindness, humility, and peace that Larry Norman's music provides gives me hope that someday the world will be a better place. He left this world to be with the Lord but he left a message of joy and hope, for all us to share. The sheer art of each...

When I went to work for YFC- Denmark in 1980, I took my American Christian baggage with me. YFC Denmark leader, Peter Gotz-Nielsen quickly let me know my music and my American way of communicating would not work with European youth. I sang for the YFC staff in the YFC Denmark headquarters to give them a s...

Ana Marcyan

That was me. Are there any St. Mary'sor ND people out there who remember the concert we set up with Larry?

I remember 30 years ago when he played at Notre Dame in South Bend and then we saw him again at Wheaton College. He showed others the way and made it possible for all of those who say that they are "Christian Rock Stars"...there will never be another like him...I remember local gyms filled to...

I once got a chance to meet Larry Norman. It was a dream-come-true for a young teenage boy like me who was just starting to pay attention to the world. Having spent hours and hours and hours listening to his music, I hoped I could shake his hand someday. Larry Norman would never have wanted to be held u...

I read Randy Stonehill's comments on his site yesterday. First, let me say, I feel somewhat angry about the tone of the letter. I believe it was maybe a personal and private letter of regret about opportunities missed. I also wonder about his comment that he knew Larry better than anyone. I wonder wh...

ONE WAY Larry was the coolest dude!He chose to suffer pain...doing it for those he loved;postponing " Heaven's gain." He could have died so many times,but chose to" fight the fight "of living for the rest of us...and showing us what's right. Unselfish, brave and true to Go...

Maybe 25 years ago, I saw Larry in concert at the Playhouse theatre in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. It was one of the most powerful moments in my life. Years later, I strayed from Christian life and have led an empty life full of sin. Today I learned of Larry's passing...and am left with his music and his me...

Dear friends and family of Larry Norman, It seems like only yesterday, but I can still remember the Friday night in the spring of '73 that I came back from the Christian book store with my very first Christian album which was going to be my first introduction to Larry Norman. From the first moment to th...

Larry was my first look at Christian music and to this day some 20 years later, he still remains the mark by which I judge all music calling its self Christian. Larry pulled no punches with his words, and that is a strong reproach to the church and Christians today. Larry - you will be missed. "Don't...

Larry was wide awake when others were dozing off. I thank God that through his music and lyrics, he keeps urging us to stay awake.

Heiko Wolda - Netherlands

for the beautiful songs in the seventies!! We`ll meet with our Saviour.

Dear family & close friends, May God help you to bless you in these difficult days... Ou brother, our friend, Larry is on the right place now: at home. Larry has helped me (and i'm sure a lot of others) "living like it might be my last" day. To think about the way i live. To only visit this pl...

Larry Doughan

I was a baby in Christ thirty + years ago when I first heard one of Larry's songs. The Lord used Larry to feed me and teach me and challenge me early in my walk with Him. We lost a dear brother here on earth and grieve with you. But I envy him seeing the Lord face to face. As long as we are here "nothing re...

BEYOND THE STARS i.m. Larry Norman A celebration. Projected memories and the sound of a scratched record, the descent of the first man, Adam, as song echoes against the casket. Find the fragile path into the future and wait for me beyond the stars. Today I wrote nothing. There will be no more words flyi...

Mark Owens

Heartbroken yet thrilled. My brother has no more problems. I figure that an angel has given up the guitiar now and maybe even a lead singer is taking a break while Larry get to worship face to face. See you soon. Mark

When I bought my first stereo back in the mid 70's I was so excited to get it all hooked up. When I finally did, I began to scan for a radio station and the very first thing to come across it and fill my room was "UFO" by Larry Norman. I was a Christian, but I had no idea that Christian music like thi...
