When Larry Norman recorded Only Visiting This Planet in 1972 for MGM at George Martin's studio in London, there wasn't place in the music industry for "Jesus Rock." MGM had no idea what to do with it. This meld of rootsy pop, gospel, and rock & roll songs sung about Christ had less than nothing to do with hymns, and was rejected by the Christian church at large at the time. In the 21st century, Norman is regarded as the "Father of CCM" and that $450 million dollar a year industry, and this album is regarded by CCM Magazine as "the greatest Christian rock record of all time." It's ironic. Norman died largely broke in 2008. Only Visiting This Planet is the second part of a trilogy that included Upon This Rock (Capitol, 1969), that dealt with the theme of creation, and So Long Ago the Garden (MGM, 1973) about the world's redemption. This set (which ironically was the first one to be reissued) concerns itself with the Fall. All three albums have been remastered and reissued by Solid Rock Records, a label Norman founded - he was well-known for his fiercely independent streak. The album is a masterpiece; one needn't believe in God to enjoy it; it stands on it's own as an enduring work of popular art.
These songs were expertly written and arranged, they spill across the rock, pop, and gospel spectrum, and were gorgeously produced. "I Wish We'd All Been Ready," with its wash of strings and a backing choir, adds to the drama of Norman's topic: the Rapture, when all Christians, living or dead, are prophesied to be reunited with Christ before the end of the world. Belief in this premise is not necessary: the song is delivered with such understated conviction and produced for maximum dramatic effect, that it's deeply moving. The hard-rocking "Why Don't You Look into Jesus" addresses addictive behavior amid snarling guitars, punchy drums, and popping pianos. The opening track is a mysterious broken love song called "I'v'e Got to Learn to Live Without You" that drips with longing. "I Am the Six O'Clock News" is a straight-out rocker that reflects the irony in the media's coverage of the Vietnam war. The acoustic ballad "The Outlaw" is a poetic narrative pondering Christ's life and death. There is biting social commentary in "The Great American Novel" that reflects Bob Dylan's early work but, "Righteous Rocker #1" is payback: it's a lyrical precursor to - and was perhaps inspiration for - "You Gotta Serve Somebody." The album contains two bonus tracks, and is well worth checking out by anyone interested in genuine rock & roll classics.

Whos here cause they heard it on Joes recent podcast?!?
Me
That's hilarious! Yes exactly.
Joe wasn't wrong lol
Which episode?
Lol me
The World needs JESUS more than ever
Larry Norman was a true visionary and changed the face of Christian music forever! I am 60 this year and have been listening to his music since 1969!
70yr old listening to this at the strike of midnight into 2024. First hearing this in the 70s and always wishing people would "look in to Jesus, he's got the answer", especially now. Great job on the video and it's association with Joplin.
Yes Steven I looked into Jesus after a 6 months debate with a lady named Chrissy Young who later became my friend in Christ. I gave my life to Jesus at the age of 24 on 12-26-1983 and on 12-26-2023 I celebrated my 40yr anniversary walking down the Narrow Road with Jesus. The journey continues! It's amazing what the Holy Spirit has taught and shown me. Simply amazing. Yes Yeshua Hamashia is my best friend. I play Gospel Blues, rock and alot of Praise & Worship lately on the harmonica. I've been playing over 40yrs now. I'm coming out with a demo CD. Would like to be a session slash studio musicians. I also write a lot of songs. I have a lot of jams on Utube. Check out one humorous spontaneous jam I did yrs ago titled Jimmy C cycle time blues. Shalom to you! Would love to be your friend. We both are Jesus Freaks. Shalom!
Please send a friend request!
Everytime Joe rogan said "Why don't you look into Jesus hes got the answer" after talking about some shitty situation is funnier than it should be
My first three concerts when I became a Christian back in 1978 were Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, and Phil Keaggy. My life was changed forever by their music!
Amen!
PHIL!!
I believe that I saw the same show a year later in 79 or 80 in Atlanta Georgia.
Seeing the 2nd Chapter of Acts at The Fox was almost Heaven 👍🏻🙏🏻
WAEC AM radio played gospel teaching in the morning, but this new Christian Rock in the afternoon.
I fondly remember talking to Mylon Lefebvre when he was getting clean and working as the janitor at the Mount in North Atlanta.
Metro Bible Study, with a hundred young folks coming to hear Rat Riley preach. Al Holley and sometimes Mylon Lefebvre and Broken Heart would warm up the crowd to hear from The Holy Ghost. I believe that I still have a little white cassette tape of Metro Bible Study Music 😂😂
Lots of the bands back then, we'd see at Gatlinburg Tennessee right after Christmas. Huge Campus Life Youth for Christ conference every year. We'd bring over 1000 from the South Miami area.
Those bus rides took a long time, with a lot of high schoolers.
We had some pretty good music to use for the journey Home back in the day, and I still prefer it to the stuff today. Keith Green was a gift too, and I remember getting ready So you wanna go back to Egypt album in the USPS mail. I had to pull over I75 after they played a melody of Keith's songs, and then announced the plane crash. Worked the Memorial concert in Atlanta in great sadness.
Phil Keggey playing with his gadgets was a mind blower, and I had done quite a bit of acid in the day.
Philp Side album is a forever classic.
I'm trying to remember if Chuck Girard was from the same time or a little later.
@@kctechie Same time.
“Train by day, Joe Rogan podcast by night…… all day.”
My father used to pull this vinyl out when I was a kid, awesome!! Thank you Jesus for loving us before we even knew you.
Amen
Do you still have it?
@@lonelybro77 good question
This and songs like it helped make the transition from wild, self-centered hippie to allowing Jesus to change me into wanting to do His will. Culturally, hymns didn't do much for me. Hearing artists with songs like this was an oasis for me!
Amen! Likewise Brother.
I was too young to be a hippie. But i was lost too. No more. Set free once i asked Him. Baptised. Born again. God bless . Run the good race brothers and sisters. Btw it is interesting that the you of tube allows Christians to share still. Googly dark? I
it is a very encouraging song. I think it is great that she made this
Amen! Yes, I was so amazed to see that Janis Joplin sang this. I like the early hippie christian music. There is such a thing. It's awesome music
Thank you for sharing. Praise God. He can reach us with all genres of music 🎵
I’m here cause of the Joe Rogan Podcast. Great song
🎤 🎶 🎵 🎧
My Pastor told me about this song and Joe Rogan. He was a very messed up young man who came to Jesus almost 50 years ago and loves old school Christian music. Very raw words about our lives before Jesus. 🙏 💪 ♥
Rogan saved my life! Was in trouble deep with IRS, but took it to JESUS and found the answer. Praise be.❤
You can have eternal life
Not a Christian, but i love Larry Norman now. This is the first time i ever heard music like this
What's holding you back? It's pretty clear from the way the world is going that the Bible is true .
... the Bible is Truth but Christianity is False invented by Constente of ROME btw and Canada and USA are Corporation of ROME btw and ...
Thanks Joe. America needs a little Jesus right now.
Was looking for this comment lol😅
LETS GOOOOO!😊
Came here after Joe recommended it. Tune is solid
@@paulgreen5497 Joe Rogan?
Not just a little… we will always need him A LOT!
God is peering into Joe Rogan's life, he knows it, his strength and discipline and love for others, WITH self sacrifice. Is God working through him. Thank God, beauty.
First time listening to this song and it’s fucking awesome 🤘
About a month ago I heard it via a friend. Totally agree.
It's a great jam!
Saw Larry a couple times, personally met him and prayed with him, was a great guy, and truly wanted Jesus for the world.
Banger! Jre brought me here!
Those who call on the name of the Lord (Jesus) will be saved.
Acts:2:21.❤😊❤
Larry Norman; Father of Christian rock. 🎸🎤 Native of my home; Corpus CHRISTi, TX🙏
Larry Norman was simply the best. I saw him several times. You have never seen anything if you haven’t been to a Larry Norman experience.
Other memories:
Once i was 5th in line for a LN concert at the Spokane Opera House when a beat up station wagon pulled up and out got LN.
He then got in line with us for his own concert.
I thought is that who I think it is behind me? Then a door opened and they ushered him in.
Nothing outrageous, but just a fun story.
Another time I lived in San Jose Ca and a friend of mine and I wondered does anyone live in de Tracy street (the address was in many of his albums).
We went to that door and knocked. Larrys dad, Joe Norman answered the door.
Like little kids we said, “does Larry Norman live here?”
Joe said “sometimes” and INVITED US IN!
He gave us a tour of the Solid Rock warehouse and even played his harmonica for us.
To me that was like John Lennon’s dad inviting us in.
Great memories!
The first time I saw him was in Virginia Beach in 1979, maybe a month or less before I had to move to Texas for my senior year of high school. (Thanks, USAF.)
We had a friend named Robby who loved LN but he couldn’t go to the concert because his band was playing at a Christian coffee house to cover for the house band that was opening for LN. After the concert we went to the coffee house to see Robby’s band. At one point I looked around and saw someone from behind with long blonde hair. I’m pretty sure it was a woman but I jokingly said to my friend, “You can’t fool me. That’s not Larry Norman.” I think we said it a few times about different people. Eventually I looked around and, lo and behold, there was Larry Norman. He only stayed a short time after I saw him. As he started down the stairs to the exit he was sort of facing the band. He gave them a little wave. Robby gave him a cool nod but I thought inside he was probably freaking out.
This songs about to blow up y'all. Lol
I had the pleasure of meeting Larry several times, he was friends with my sister - in - law. Great man!
This the greatest Christian rock song ever made.
You could say that about a lot of Larry's songs. He had a very poor view of Christian music, thought it was embarrassing and had shallow lyrics, and it was his intent to raise the bar. I would say he succeeded.
Yes!!!
Tru dat
As a producer of modern CCM songs, I agree 100%. Larry Norman was absolutely brilliant. 🙏
You gotta serve somebody is pretty cool by Dylan
I NEVER knew of this song ! It is frighteningly prophetic , cautionary , and revelatory ! Thank You , God!!!
Nobody is thanking God, or Jesus. They aren't even thanking Janis... Everyone is thanking some "Joe" I guess they mean president Biden?
After Larry died many people judged him accused him of being a fake.. well he is the best fake ever in my eyes this man got many people to look into Jesus the answer
Just satan's puppets getting ticked because he kicked a few gates to hell down and snatched some victims out of the flames.
@@thomasrossetos8206
Let him who is without Sin Cast The 1st Stone.
@lucaboden
Let he who is without sin.....
All I can say its a good thing I've Never been hypocritical or anything!
That's my story and I'm Stickin With It! :-)
@@stevenwiederholt7000 thanks for the chuckle, bro!
Larry died human. Just like he lived. That's how I'm living. I want to say I don't make the same mistakes I made 40 years ago. I'd like to say that....
Very underrated song writer and musician.
And Producer!
This is insanly great! Thanks Joe Rogan
Joe Rogan brought me here.
Cool
Me too. He mentioned it again 😂
Me too
@@Ant-813he mentioned it again?
@@Staysobereveryday yes🤣 he mentions the same crap all the time
Can’t believe Joe Rogan sang this song live on his latest podcast! Love this song!!
Like five times😂❤️
Thanks Joe
JRE brought me here and I love it
Saw Larry in concert 7 times in the 70s and 80s. He was shunned by many, and battled inner turmoil, but his music will stay with me forever.
It was more than likely because he was rock artist. I grew up as a Mennonite & there they said rock was evil. I'm not Mennonite anymore nor do I believe that way anymore.
I wish I seen them because like Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley he was a tortured soul but never backed away from his love of Jesus who is the a man.
That is an absolutely excellent way to put it...THANK YOU
God is our Judge not humans.
@@kraken9321 Rock can be evil if the lyrics are.
Larry Norman was a prophet. So many of his songs written in the 70's and 80's are still relevant. Amazing...been listening to him since I was a little girl.
ruclips.net/video/BI1_QQg0WSc/видео.html
Absolutely
One Way ☝️ one way to heaven, Children of the King ☝️☝️🙏
Circle of Friends, Why don't you look into Jesus, He's got the Answer, UFO 😂, and I wish they'd all be Ready. Got to see Brother Larry a few times and once with Randy Stonehill too.
RIP Larry Norman ☝️🙏
No wonder he is the father of Christian Rock. Beautiful song!!!!!
Larry helped me see the world as I had an idea it was...after my Vietnam Tour 71....since, I am of the few who know him
Thanks joe
I love Larry Norman and I loved her. Both were great musicians however I hope that she lucked into Jesus before she passed away. God bless all of you.
I don't know much about Janis, but this sure describes me. ..Thank You, Master Jesus. Thank You so much.
Would you like to?
This is not Janis....
Larry was the real deal, I don't care what anybody says.
Jre this needs to be viral
Haven't heard this for 30yrs, this guy was just as good as any of the biggys of his day!
Being a hippie in the 70s. I remember being born again, it was huge! The love I felt knowing I belonged to Him. I didn't know how to stop trying to convert my friends which were my family. It would just get worse. Then I'd find guys like this and Mark Farner and I could hear the spirit of God talking through their music. It would be my secret place when I'd be too stoned to go home. Ozzy to. He always sang about the dangers of evil and the power of God and love. Read his lyrics.
yep ppl tthink black sabbath is some satanic band no they are christian read the lyrics
Here from the JRE!
Joe Rogan experience episode #2046 brought me here he loved the song so much 😂😂
Nice song. I'd never heard this. Hope that Janis took it all to heart before she left his planet.
Wow! Where has this song been my whole life! ❤❤❤ 🙏🏼
The best Christian Rock musician ever.
Chuck Girard and love song were awesome at that time too! So was 2nd chapter of Acts the group The Way Paul Clark and others like Phil keaggy
Lots of great ones, but yes. Larry was the best.
I know that Larry's stuff is a rare anointing insisted by the Lord himself , I can bear testimony of the wonderful presence of God back in the mid -1980's when I got born again, I found I was walking closely with God at that time. I also experienced special occasions of blessing in His Presence. Larry's music, and especially his lyrics at the time was a part of that journey of real inspiration and meant a lot to me. .God bless you Larry my loving brother..RIP!
Wow!!!! WHAT A SONG, NEVER EVER PLAYED ON RADIO, AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN
I heard it being played over the radio back in the 70's
I've known about Larry since before Joe. My dad, who is a Christian, was a hippie and used to play his music when I was growing up.
Loved Larry's music. It cut to the heart, which speaks volumes of his relationship with Jesus and ability to put the reality of Jesus to music.
Yes ameni never saw him in concert but we will see him again when jesus comes back
I love 70s rock music! I never knew there was gospel music in this genre. Thanks for sharing with the world.
Jesus music has every genre
Greg I'm standing beside Larry's grave marker while I listen to this. Thanks for posting all the videos.
@@holygeneration7 they are sometimes called headstones or tombstone
@@TristanandIsoltIn lawn cemetaries they are usually referred to as markers.
@@neodutch I'm a person who is very against trying to communicate with the dead, but being there gave me a lot of inspiration and reflection.
He's got something to say, and he did it well, I can dig it
🎶♥️I LOVE, LOVE LOVE JESUS and this music helped me get to where I needed to be... God Bless these tunes and Larry.... please keep up the good work, Brother🕊♥️🎶
This really rocks, God bless you all from El Salvador.
From what I heard when Larry told the story at one his concerts it wasn't out of condemnation or putting her down, but just feeling sad and bad for her. I got the impression he didn't really even know her that well. She was backstage sipping wiskey from a a paper cup between sets and obviously in a bad place. He just recognized her humanity and how, but by the grace of God there go I,, No Larry was not perfect, who of us is? Larry had issues, that doesn't mean his music or message was somehow invalidated. Come on people!!!! So easy to put him down now that he is gone and you all stand so self righteous living perfect lives
Here from Ruslan, who reviewed the Joe Rogan video XD
Hahaha me too lol
This song is a fucking banger
Seen him a few times when I was a kid in the late 70s, amazing performer!
Why Janice why 😭 rip Janis Joplin❤
Norman was singing about Joplin? I NEVER connected that! I was only a high school sophomore when I first got this record! Just thought of this today 2-24-22. Crazy.
Thank you Jesus.
These lyrics are very strong and true. Who in there normal senses can receive a gift of "gonorrhea on Valentine’s Day". But that is what sin does. We all have done similar things only in a different way. Only Christ can save any human from sin. Jail cells, UN conferences and many others cant.
My brush with greatness: "In Another Land", was one of my first Christian LPs I bought around 1980-81. Then years later, I had the privilege and honor to see Larry in concert a couple of times. He autographed the CD version of this album I purchased at his concert! As he would often monologue/preach between songs, Larry said he was friends with Janis Joplin--whom he observed backstage "sippin' whiskey from a paper cup..." before one of her concerts. (At least, that's how I remembered it.)
Also, Larry was friends with "keep me runnin'" Randy Stonehill. Please check out Randy Stonehill too.
Thank you, Greg, for sharing this song with us. The Lord bless you, brother!
I saw him in concert during my Jr.High school age and at that time something bad was happening to me, I found strength in his songs to continue to not blame anyone and actually there was a time in my life I had forgotten about the bad things and I grew up, Married a Policeman, had 2 kids and now have 2 grandkids we have been married almost 42 yrs...I am in my 60ies and my walk with Jesus has never been stronger....Thank you Mr. Norman, I pray you were able to dance with Jesus and all you issues just disappeared, I wonder if you knew how many peoples lives you changed, I will have to find out when I get to heaven...YOU deserve a Standing ovation.... AMEN
A jam for Jesus 🙏
thanks for the video and background. If we could all only look at the lost with the same eyes maybe we would spread the Good News more often
Check out "Rose-colored Stained Glass Windows" by Petra, not to guilt-induce, but to arouse awareness and a call to action in word and deed. Blessings in Christ!
So true... look into Jesus! 😇
This song is the coolest thing ever associated with Christianity. Damn it got me believing 😎
This song views/plays are about to skyrocket after being on Joe Rogan. 241K views as of 10OCT23
Here from JRE #2046
JRE Brought me here...
Dear Larry! Your Music changed my life from 1982 on, Thank You I really hope you can read this! You will Always be my Favorite redeemed Outlaw! SOLID 🥊 ROCK!
Nicely done. I'd play this song really loud in the college dorm on Valentine's Day in the early 80s. A resident advisor introduced me to the music of Larry Norman and Norman protege Randy Stonehill. Larry is a legend.
Any chance you were at Wheaton, Rob? Stonehill played there while I was from 87-91. Actually it might have been during my HS years before that.
@@scottwiens9451 Hi, Scott. My first exposure to Larry Norman's music was as a freshman at the University of Michigan in 1981, but I didn't see him live until serving as a youth pastor in '90 or '91. I first saw Stonehill live in Ann Arbor in '83 or
'84. Long story short - two flawed men, but gifted song writers and performers in an era that was one of a kind and which I fondly recall.
Man who deserve much higher position in the history of the mankind...although...how many of ya knows about him BTW????Everybody's talking about Dylan...But Larry...
Larry wrote this song after meeting Janis Joplin during a concert while in the group People!
“One night I was singing on stage,” Norman recalled, “and Janis Joplin was sitting behind the front curtain watching the concert with a bottle of Southern Comfort in one hand and she was sipping whiskey from a paper cup. She was drunk and really unhappy. And every now and then, she would start yelling at me. I wrote ‘Why Don't You Look Into Jesus’ about Janis.” That song appeared on “Only Visiting This Planet.”
“She was like the happy drunk hippie who felt very ugly because of her terrible pockmarks,” Norman told me. “And so if you talked to her she’d go, ‘Hey, baby, how’s it doin?’ And if you talked to her serious, if you say something like ‘Jesus--Yeah, Jesus,
he’s cool, and Muhammad, and Buddha, and…you know?’ She was just nonstop. Insecure and on display and performing. You couldn’t give to her ‘cause she was too busy protecting herself and giving her image back to you. I prayed for a lot of these people, and then was just so brokenhearted when various ones of them began to die.” In “Why Don’t You Look Into Jesus,” Norman blasts the empty hedonism of the rock stars for whom he opened. “Sipping whiskey from a paper cup,” “shooting junk until you’re half insane,” “gonorrhea on Valentine’s Day and you’re still looking for the perfect lay.”
Greg Murray Joplin ended up a mess, no doubt about it.
Isn't the point of Christianity for none of us to judge anyone else? It doesn't sound like Mr Norman of all people was in a good position to do so.
Debra Rufini She died at 27. He lived several more decades. She destroyed herself physically.
No, that's not the point of Christianity. The point of Christianity is that we are all sinners and because of God's great love for us regardless of our rebellion, He sent His Son to pay for our Sinn if we trust Christ.
Poor Janis was a very hurt and sad person. She drowned her pain in alcohol and heroine. I don't think Larry was judging her, he was just stating a fact about her obviously lost condition, but then he lovingly sang, "Why Don't You Look Into Jesus, he's got the answer." It's too bad that she didn't it may have saved her life. I hope she called out to Jesus in her hotel room before she died. It would be great to see her in Heaven singing to Jesus with the gift that she was given.
Definitely. I had keith green albums and cassettes and wore them out. I had a friend from high school that lived at his Last Days Ministries commune or whatever it was, down in Lindale Tx
Thank You, Janis. I never knew you found Jesus. I am impressed by Janis Joplin for this
@@holygeneration7 ok. well, I like the song
May our lord Jesus Christ enter Joe Rogans life
I read about her life and it is ven more painful after listening to this song.
Love it! Just one amendment, this song is from Only Visiting...which is part one of the trilogy and represents the present, part two was So Long ago...which is the past and the third part was In Another Land representing the future.
Damn it joe Shit stuck in my head now
Arthur Blessitt use to share Jesus with Janice on the Strip in Hollywood as she was drinking her Jack Daniel's. I believe the LORD'S Word doesn't return to HIM void. So I know HE reached out to her before she went into eternity. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
Had to look up Larry Norman after hearing about him on NPR. Like what I heard.
are you that young? :)
bpvadm
What surprises you about that? assuming she is, I mean.
There are a lot of people for whom the musicians of the 60s and 70s are a matter of history to be discovered.
I read a comment about him from a Haven Ministries Canada eNewsletter. I have been listening to CCM for 25 years and didn't know about him!
now you've looked into Larry, why don'tcha look into Jesus...?
Janis. Larry. Both icons. Both gone too soon.
Joe Rogan put this song on blast
10-10-23 FJB
I still have that album! It's awesome.
Thanks Joe Rogan
Came across this interesting song on a instagram reel
Keaggy, Stonehill, still Jesus music missionaries today.
never grow tired of his music...or Randy ....a whole breed above!...
@RuslanKD brought me here.
He brought Me here too
I like this song for the music not letting it convert me. Just like I enjoy disturbed but I don't think I should get "down with the sickness"
Love Larry Norman's music and this album is the best!Playing it heaps at the moment.So so good!
Love this! Seen it via Instagram ❤🎉
Just came across this.
Beautifully done. I miss Larry so much! Recently he's the only artist I've been listening to. Perpetual Larry Norman Radio on Pandora. Don't know what's up with me...I feel I just have to.
thank you. 🪔
Janis was a wonderful artist and singer!One my top faves ever to this day!And I'm not big on female singers in general!
That is not Janis Joplin singing
God bless Janis, love her, she lived a fast life, a life that left us all a little too soon.
