Joe Norman had served as a sergeant in the US Army Air Corps during World War II and worked at the Southern Pacific Railroad while studying to become a teacher. After Norman's birth, the family joined the Southern Baptist church. In 1950 the family moved to San Francisco, where they attended a Black American Pentecostal church and then a Baptist church, where Norman became a Christian at the age of five. In 1959, Norman performed on the syndicated television show The Original Amateur Hour.

In 1960, Norman's father began teaching in San José, California; the family lived in nearby Campbell. Norman graduated from Campbell High School in 1965 and won an academic scholarship to major in English at San Jose State College. After one semester, Norman "flunked out of college and lost [his] scholarship".

    Deep Blue (chess computer)

    Deep Blue was a chess-playing computer developed by IBM. It is known for being the first piece of artificial intelligence to win both a chess game and a chess match against a reigning world champion under regular time controls.

    Deep Blue won its first game against a world champion on February 10, 1996, when it defeated Garry Kasparov in game one of a six-game match. However, Kasparov won three and drew two of the following five games, defeating Deep Blue by a score of 4–2. Deep Blue was then heavily upgraded, and played Kasparov again in May 1997. Deep Blue won game six, therefore winning the six-game rematch 3½–2½ and becoming the first computer system to defeat a reigning world champion in a match under standard chess tournament time controls. Kasparov accused IBM of cheating and demanded a rematch. IBM refused and retired Deep Blue.

    Development for Deep Blue began in 1985 with the ChipTest project at Carnegie Mellon University. This project eventually evolved into Deep Thought, at which point the development team was hired by IBM. The project evolved once more with the new name Deep Blue in 1989. Grandmaster Joel Benjamin was also signed on to the development team by IBM.

    Soul Survivor

    by: Larry Norman

    i'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
    oh yes i need somebody's sympathy
    don't leave me here alone don't let me be
    the soul survivor of this tradgedy
    my life was good when she was hanging around
    my love was flying so high and free
    but when she left my dreams came tumbling down
    now i'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
    i'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
    oh yes i need somebody's sympathy
    don't leave me here alone don't let me be
    the soul survivor of this tradgedy
    i'm trying so hard to forget my pain
    and leave my past behind
    but when your life is suddenly filled with rain
    you keep remembering how the sun used to shine
    and i can't stand the loneliness the constant emptiness
    why has unhappiness come into my life
    i spend my mornings walking and thinking
    and cry my evenings late into the night
    i never knew that things could go so wrong
    until this happened to me
    if you're in love you better hold on strong
    or be the soul survivor of this tradgedy
    i'm the soul survivor of this tradgedy
    oh yes i need somebody's sympathy
    don't leave me here alone don't let me be
