What have been peoples reactions to the documentary?
It depends. I think if you had no vested interest in Larry Norman, it is simply another chapter of rock ‘n’ roll history that takes place within a musical genre you may know nothing about. The issues, however, are much the same as you would see in a documentary about The Ramones or The Kinks; boys behaving badly with a great soundtrack. If you had a vested interest in Larry, however, you may have been caught off guard. Part of the façade of Larry Norman was the creation of his mythological status as some sort of evangelical superstar who was endlessly proclaiming the gospel around the world while helping out fledgling musicians get their start. For them, some of these revelations are bound to be a little upsetting.
