Larry Norman died Sunday morning. He and Randy Stonehill were kings of the Christian rock scene during my college days. I never heard Larry Norman in concert, but I know his music well. Songs like:

• Why Should the Devil Have all the Good Music?
• Shot Down
• I Am a Servant
• Why Don't You Look into Jesus
• The Six O'clock News
• Sweet Song of Salvation
• The Great American Novel
• I Wish We'd all Been Ready (bet you didn't know that Norman wrote that classic)

A while back, I bought the CD, "One Way--The Songs of Larry Norman." A variety of contemporary artists cover some of his best-known songs. Rebecca St. James rocks out on "Sweet Song of Salvation," and Larry Howard absolutely kills with "The Rock that Doesn't Roll."

There is a message from Norman's family on his website, and gobs of messages left on his message board.
