I have to take a couple days off due to the injured foot (prayers appreciated)
therefore I have all this time, and I can't really do anything on my feet. I thought to myself "so what's the deal with this Norm guy who wrote Spirit in the Sky anywayz?"
Here's some excerpts from e-mails he recieved and a link to his site(he's a pretty funny guy I think):
You are God. Spirit In The Sky is the best song ever. I love you. Brandi
We climbed an unfeasibly big mountain in Glencoe, Scotland last week and drank some whisky there. Does that mean we had "spirit in the sky?" Marti
(Norman's Re-Drool) You should get together with Brandi.
At my Dad's funeral and by his request, we played Spirit In The Sky. Part of the way through the song everyone stood up and sang along, (over 100 people), with tears in their eyes and smiles on their faces. I think my Dad was smiling too. His name was Charles Parker Williams. As the Priest was about to start his speech, he looked at the audience and said: "That's a pretty tuff act to follow." Victoria
I work with a devout Christian who says Spirit In The Sky is just fluff. Can you clear this up? Jim
(Norman's re-drool) I thought I cleaned the lint filter.
I'm 14 and when I'm not watching malcom In The Middel, I listen 2
Spirit, like 15 million times. J.F.
What's a Jew singing about Jesus for? name withheld
(Norman's re-drool) I felt weird singing about Malcom In The Middle.
You give me goosebumps. K.C.
(Norman's re-drool) When can we meet?
Did you write Spirit In The Sky? BK
(Norman's re-drool) That's what they tell me.
