Gene's been dead for several months. Didn't you get the funeral notice?
Article dated 2-23-05 in case some think this is recent. Thought I heard about this awhile back.
In case you haven't heard.
I thought this site was for breaking news? Gene Scott died many months ago and yes, it did make the LA Times.
Where have you been?
I am very saddened. He was a great teacher. He was as politically incorrect as one could get. The world and the media would have us believe that Christians should be submissive people pleasing doormats. Dr. Scott was anything but that.
He was hilarious. I remember seeing him when I first moved to LA and being amazed by his nerve and insanity.
He would ramble on forever. He would play (or noodle) on the saxaphone forever sorta drifting aimlessly and endlessly with no particular melody or rhythm.
His graphic charts would start with a few circles and lines and eventually cover the whole board until it looked like an abstract painting of endless scribbles.
Who were the people who worked or "voluntered" for him?
I did hear him say once upon a time that it was a sin for some women not to wear make-up. I think he was correct.
I always wondered how he found that department store that looked like a Cathedral at the top. Dont worry he made enough tapes to last a l;ifetime. He did like good looking women.
Today, my wife does not remember who he was, but I remember him fondly.
This may be old news, but it is news to me! Thanks for sharing this information with us.
He may have been a little strange, but he was my type of strange. Today, he is with God and should be proud of what he did while on Earth.
Back in the 80's until the mid-90's c-band satellite installers used satcom G-5 where Dr. Scott was on 24/7 as a way to sight in the big dish. It was printed in installation manuals.
"...rusty old halo, a skinny old cloud, and a robe so worn it scratches."
From a song by Hoyt Axton IIRC.
My father-in-law and I found this guy to be a source of comic relief and a topic of conversation when we get together. Saw a few of his shows and marvel to this day how he could be taken seriously by so many people. I tell ya, the general population leaves little room for hope.
Well I mised this.
