A Christian huckster, with fingers in various media pies over the decades. His original MO was hipness: he claimed to have had some sort of connection to the rock world, and "knew first-hand" about all the Satanic stuff that goes on in that milieu (he may have hatched the backwards masking meme). His history of lies and improprieties has failed to totally ruin him, and has spawned websites and alt.fan.bob-larson, with its running jokes about TBN and Tonga.
