Larry Norman, Christian rock legend, passed away this morning.  For those who don’t know who he was, in many ways he did for Christian music what Elvis did for music in general. I can’t even find the words for a tribute appropriate to his level of impact.

Well done, you good and faithful servant. Can’t wait to meet you in Heaven.
