My Take
Larry Norman is one of those figures I respect precisely because he refused to fit in. Inventing a lane like Christian rock and releasing well over a hundred albums takes a stubbornness that borders on the heroic. Coming out of San Jose, he had the pioneer's restlessness, and his Hall of Fame recognition feels less like a reward than an acknowledgment of inevitability. He turned worship into living, restless music, and even after his death in 2008 that defiant sincerity keeps resonating. I find the artists who break the mold tend to age the best, and Norman is proof.
