Title: Minister Polarius V.S. Larry Norman
Post by: Jmbeers on February 09, 2012, 03:06:47 AM: I'm sorry but I have always thought this and I can't help it anymore. For thoses very few that know who Larry Norman is... Minister Polarius' profile picture reminded me of the anthropology album cover by Larry Norman

(sorry the picture is so big)
Oh and if you don't know Larry, Learn!

#2 You are right that he and Pol share a similar hair style and choice of clothing (although their facial structure and hair color are quite different)

#3 I'm relatively sure that Pol would be happy with this comparison.

#4 For all of you who have no idea who Larry Norman is, please check out this song. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1FcTKNXlO0)

There drivin me insane
I grew it out long to make room for my brain

But some people don't, Understand
What's a good boy doing in a rock and roll band?"

Why should the Devil have all the good music? By: Larry Norman
