Of course Mike, what you meant to say was "alleged revelations" - without taking sides in this issue I am still disappointed that Cross Rhythms has not seen fit to publish Charles Norman's response to the allegations as he graciously requested.
Regarding the CD - a missed opportunity I think to select the very best and maybe include some more recent songs that are nearly as good as the 70's stuff such as "Jesus is God", "Rock the Flock" & "Near" aAnd nothing from "Stranded in Babylon"??? By the way, I understand the CD was planned before his death.
Yes, "alleged revelations" might be more to the point - and Charles Norman's response should be posted anytime these allegations arise.
I think the song selections are good - and Larry and the record company haggled over these selections - as I have read - it was simply time to choose and the record company had to just make the choice - and Larry OK'd it.
I suspect, this was not going to be the last release from the company - so it was restricted to a time period. My guess.
Larry stated clearly that he would never stop performing his old songs - he liked them, liked playing them, and maybe considered them like books he'd written - or important stories ... even songs ... that he liked enough to continue doing. Maybe getting royalties from his catalog helping inspire him to release the many versions too. Maybe.
I'd say that Tourniquet, Babylon, etc., were great songs written after the "golden era" or whatever - and it's a bit too harsh to say he died musically before he died physically. I am still turning Tourniquet over in my mind - over and over again. More levels there - than meets the eye.
thanks.
