All these posts and nobody else thinks larry destroyed Hound Of Heaven. I don't know Larry but I get the impression that he is a bit conceited and sometimes a jerk. He had a couple good songs but not many. But hey, I can't talk...most people think my music glows with warmth too __________________ http://www.google.com 05-08-2003 18:48 zippetydoodaddy Woolly Eggwhisk Registration Date: 01-29-2003 Posts: 610 Location: Lust is the craving for salt of a man who is dying of thirst. - F.B. I've only heard a few of his songs and have had a good time with them. But if those of you who "know" his stuff could help me with a mystery... There's a song about Moses leading the Israelites out of bondage. It's funny. It's cool music. It's mysterious. What's the album? What's the song? Why in the hay does he end it with, "Never borrow money needlessly"? It makes no sense....to me. __________________ Welcome Happy Campers to Camp CAACONAA!

What's the album? What's the song? Why in the hay does he end it with, "Never borrow money needlessly"? It makes no sense....to me. That song is called "Moses in the Wilderness" and it's on Upon this Rock. I bought the album for that song and it was worth it! ) __________________ This is where I put my signature. 05-08-2003 19:34 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny Oops, I forgot, "Never borrow money needlessly" is referring to Israel coming into Egypt in the first place when Joseph was acting as prime minister during the land of drought. I don't think it really was a needless borrowing of money, but rather a God-ordained way that the family of Jacob would be preserved in the drought and latter God's hand would be revealed in leading people out of Egypt. Did Larry miss the point? I'm not certain. __________________ This is where I put my signature. 05-08-2003 19:37 Matt K Sublime Brain Puppet Registration Date: 05-03-2002 Posts: 98 Location: Traverse City, Michigan borrowing        Actually on one of Larry's live CDs, he says that line was from a commercial that ran when he was a kid. The whole thing went, "Never borrow money needlessly, borrow from HFC" or something along those lines. He said that he wrote "Moses in the Wilderness" when he was a kid, and he thought if the Isrealites needed money to build a house, they could borrow from HFC or whatever that company was called. 05-08-2003 19:45 JR88 Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 05-01-2003 Posts: 4,896 Location: The Earth Household. Thread Starter Ok so I'm in the minority when it comes to Larry..........who knew __________________ 05-08-2003 19:52 servantsteve Disjasked Lerna Registration Date: 07-02-2002 Posts: 4,168 Location: Ole Virginny I've been posting here for about 10 months. It seems the verdict is split on Larry Norman. Of Christian artists, I've made the following abservations on this board Artists everyone seems to like: DA, LD, SE, TST, Adam Again, 77s, Steve Taylor, Undercover, Mike Knott, Resurrection Band, Mike Stand, Choir, Altar Boys, Randy Stonehill, Vigilantes of Love/Bill Mallonee, DAmb, Kieth Green Artists some like and some hate: Larry Norman, Degarmo and Key, Petra, One Bad Pig, Audio Adrenaline, DC Talk, Sixpence None The Richer, Phil Keaggy, Bruce Cockburn Artists most everyone doesn't like with some exceptions, of course: the Tuxedo Clad Megastar, Amy Grant, Michael W Smith I'm sure some will take issue with some of these assessments. I didn't know where to put some others like 2nd Chapter of Acts, Glenn Kaiser, Darrell Mansfield, Steve Camp, Russ Taff, Phil Driscoll, Matthew Ward, Larry Howard Personally, I like most of the artists listed above, except MW Smith and the ones I haven't heard (One Bad Pig, Bruce Cockburn). Some of them I like more than others. What's your opinion?? __________________ This is where I put my signature. 05-08-2003 20:20 dorfsmith Grand Encephalon Registration Date: 03-24-2002 Posts: 28,142 Location: Everybody needs a persicom Good observation. __________________ http://www.google.com 05-08-2003 23:04 BD Ceremonial Kernel Registration Date: 07-16-2002 Posts: 2,294 Mr Norman I think he is cheesy at times but I still play all of his stuff from Upon This Rock to Stranded in Babylon, after that album I sort of lost interest in his music. I did see him live in '79 or '80? and then in '85. He was great in concert and I would go see him again if he was up to doing a show. So for me, Larry is ok, and a dink. I can listen to both versions of Hound without skipping over them, but neither of them are very good in my opinion.

A must have! Have you seen the latest vesrion on Land? I think it's basically the same, but with new artwork. I don't think I'll be buying it again this time. 05-09-2003 11:58 Stuart Pedasso Woolly Eggwhisk Registration Date: 01-31-2003 Posts: 934 Location: Hi I'm Stu, who are you? I saw that too and laughed. I mean an "Australian" version. Oh Lord. I've already gone through three vinyl versions and have both CDs. If only he'd remaster "so long" which has always sounded tinny and flat compared to the others in the trilogy. __________________ 05-09-2003 13:51 Dr Rich Ubique Epoque Registration Date: 03-15-2002 Posts: 9,986 Location: Hoverkrafti im është plot me ngjala. quote: Originally posted by dorfsmith Wow.
