Thread Name: Origins: The Ballad of Aimee McPherson
Subject: RE: The Ballad of Aimee McPherson
Here's something to think about. I don't know if it means anything. I posted a "Happy!" for Aimee's birthday with a little of the history & a verse of the song. After a bit I received a very plaintive note from an elderly man. He's come on my post in a web search for his idol. Now he was deeply hurt that people still believed this slander about a great religionist. He still believed fully in her & her message. He stressed that no ill-doing was ever proved against her. True, of course.

As Joe noted, the trial was stopped & dropped.

Still, from all reports, "Radio Ray" Ormison was an extremely not nice guy & their liason pretty open down there by the sea.

But that she still has believers really says something about human mind sets.

As I said, I don't know what, though.
