He was there with his secretary, a stack of books and papers and his ever-present cigars.

I just say bleech.

Laurie did you ever see the close-ups where he’d just sit silent and glare until the kind of coin he thought his ministry deserved rolled in? Or when he brought his wife Melissa Scott (rumored to be a former porn star) in to sing? She wasn’t horrible, but she was always slightly off key. When she took first over the ministry, it was painful to watch! I think she’s since developed her chops (or she’s channeling Gene).

My roommate and I would come home after a party and sit in our PJs watching him smoke and rant, all in a tight close-up shot. He was great fun to watch after a few drinks… though I don’t think that was his intention. ;-)

Petrea, you must have seen him somewhere embedded into the wee no man land channels. This video is from the late 70′s.
He owns the neon red “Jesus Saves” sign in downtown Los Angeles. He was a smart guy, graduated from Stanford and my father’s favorite preacher. Want to know more?
