Larry Norman Interview 2000

[plalelal]

So what was the secular band he left back in the beginning?

[Pfsif]

Christ?

[ddenherm]

I met him in 1981 in Berlin, was a nice time. "Berlin `81 mit Volkhart Spitzer" A Great festival.

[TheBoldu]

I was born 1967 and through the eighties we admired Larry very much as he gave the christian gospel a voice, a hard and radical voice. I loved this time and we saw Larry at Christmas Rock Night in Ennepetal, a little city in the west of Germany, where he made a tremendous performance in his black leather jacket and with the long blond hair. God bless him and all the people who remember this great time.

I met Larry one time and he mentioned Mark Heard of whom I also had some of his music!

[tommywales]

i grew up listening to this man's albums

[AzureMonk]

Really cool clip. Lots of great GREAT Christian artists discussed. It's a shame that Larry, Gene and Mark had to leave so soon.

[roaringwaterbay]

@AzureMonk sorry . . . Gene and Mark who?

[AzureMonk]

@roaringwaterbay...Gene Eugene (Adam Again, Lost Dogs) and Mark Heard.

[cgtozer]

Fondly recall the essence of a 20 minute sermon at Greenbelt in the early 80's - guys, go clean up your room! A rare man indeed. Sorely missed.

[blackbeltpatriotism]

He was seriously gifted

[darrellma]

Hea was a writer and a musician that oppened my mind and soul to music. Didn't know he wasn't on this planet anymore. As he said he was only ever visiting this planet....

[Rawk4Life]

His death wasn't highly publicized by all Christian media, but rather portrayed as "the passing of a great Christian artist." I applaud CCM for not openly idolizing a man who's only mission was to bring others to Christ through rock n' roll.

[vidwatchers123]

I've known Larry since I was in elementary school, grew up around the corner, and through his days of the 'People' band and his transformation. Thank you for posting all these. He is truely missed.

[bigcoolviking]

he still has all his hair it is simply tucked up inside his hat... Larry norman changed my life through his music 7 was the first ever gospel/christian artist I ever thought was very 'cool' an awsome songwriter with an 'edge'& god given talent that is very rare....!

[Rawk4Life]

It's hard to even imagine that eight years following this interview where it seemed like Larry Norman was in the best health and shape of his life at the time of this clip, he'd be physically gone from the world of Christian music. His legacy as a songwriter and musician continues through those who pay tribute to him regularly in music and ministry.

[horizons777]

same here ..discovered him in 1978..was a pleasant surprise to know a kindred spirit existed after I got saved...if the world only knew...

[mwp62]

I actually thought he looked pretty frail in this interview.

[priamel]

Thanks. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the interviews. Weird to see him so thin, with so little hair. Larry was the first musician I heard singing about Jesus back in 1983, and his lyrics made a difference. I met him a few times, and enjoyed those brief conversations.

[shawnuel]

Wow! Didn't know that Todd got Larry to talk about Gene Eugene. I wasn't even sure if Larry had a lot of knowledge of Gene's work. Cool!

[sounddoctorin]

That's a great word. Indeed will miss Larry here.

[runninghoove]

Rare Larry Norman interview... Very cool. We miss you Larry. Thanks, edenzfilms for this upload.

[HarpsofGod]

in the midst of his sickness Larry was kind enough to send my little girl emails...we get to play in a tribute concert for Larry tonight at the Prophet Bar in Dallas
