Steven Thompson said...: Y'know, my first thought was that any movie with Leonard Barr and Joe E. Ross couldn't be all bad. Gary Mule Deer even! Always liked him. Then I started watching it. Even for what it is/was...this thing SuCkS!!!

This goes a long way toward explaining why I have little to no memory of 1979.; October 30, 2012 at 2:28 AM

On one of my birthday visits to San Francisco- this was on a double bill with "Roller Boogie" at the Castro Theatre. That the night after seeing "Xanadu"

I also recall seeing "Stan" Greg Bradford make many appearances on the Merv Griffin show.; October 30, 2012 at 4:05 PM

Here's an article where he says some interesting things about some powerful people.

With what we now know (presumably) about Merv, the many appearances on his show that the previous commenter references might be seen in a new light.

Or not.; October 30, 2012 at 4:57 PM
