Default Re: Gord TV/Radio appearances - potential consolidated multimedia thread

jj - I'm not sure if the ideas above covered this thought I have, specifically some of the terms I don't know may have allready. Anyway - what of a dedicated files section just as we pick between small talk, test area, general discussion; what about a fourth - everything video/audio ? Then they wouldn't get lost in all the posts pushing them down. I know this would not be a P/R to pull-in new members or surfers-type of solution, but it would surely at least make watching, finding, and listening easy to find and pcik from. It probably got said above; maybe that one post suggesting a "section" for them meant the same thing ?

Also- an anecdotal comment on The Merv Griffin show. I remember watching that and was even sort of nervous 'for him' the way he seemed. He was wearing that velvety marroon jacket (smoking jacket ? ala The Heff lol ). Well, he played two excellent songs between the talk part, the 'talk' made me cringe for him. I've never seen him like that, I think he really meant it when he said directly to Merv in an allready stalled attempt at interview by ole Merv (that guy gives me the creeps, gotta say it)Gord says in response to some question I forget, but it pertained to TV appearances and his relative avoidance by choice compared to other stars as I recall, but what he then said I will never forget, Gord says: "I gotta tell ya, I really just hate TV. Saying that to a TV mogul lol.....

And - 'Thats why I am not on much at all. My manager gets on me about it" - pretty close but not verbatim. I died laughing, but Merv was sweating bullets, Gord was tight-lipped, seemed definately pi88ed-off about something, and he hardly said any other words besides that quote than 'yep' nope' 'maybe'.lol.... Merv was allegedly quoted afterwards that that was the hardest interview he ever did. Gord's performaces were great, though. I do have the impression that, as affable and nice as he is to his fans, he does not suffer a fool...lol
