I'm not sure anyone in CCM land sings about Christ so fresh and frank... "Got gonorrhea on Valentine's day... but you're still looking for that perfect lay. Why don't you look in to Jesus .. he's got the answers!" I got to see him perform at the Cornerstone Festival when I speaking there... he was an interesting brother.

“Got gonorrhea on Valentine’s day… but you’re still looking for that perfect lay.

Why don’t you look in to Jesus .. he’s got the answers!”

I wished we'd all been ready to hear that sad, sad news that Larry had passed. I wasn't. But I'm sure he's rockin it in heaven.

Larry was out there, but he was genuine. I seem to remember at one point he had 33 Compassion children.

When I heard that he died, it hit me like a punch in the stomach. His music made a powerful impact to Christians of my generation.
