Wow! That’s hard to watch. Was there supposed to be some effective marketing technique in all those bizzaro gestures?
I’m not sure Don, I have a book of his sermons and a bunch of the stills of him fightin’ the devil all around the pulpit. It was a gimmick and it was successful in his day. I would suggest he got most of those gestures right off the silver screen. I guess that even if the people couldn’t hear everything he was saying they could see he was busy fightin’ the devil there on stage.
