I am so glad he mentioned the "Once I Had A Secret Love" episode of Mary Tyler Moore. It's hands-down one of the best things I've ever seen; I just saw it at random a few weeks ago when I happened to turn on MeTV, and it's truly one of the best things I've ever seen. Thanks, Mr. Grant!

I'm pretty sure I saw that Irish ghost story on DVD, but it was at least ten years ago. That's long enough ago that I may be misremembering, in which case I saw it in a little downtown theatre in the mid-nineties

Which greatest hits album? I'm guessing "Heartaches & Highways"?

People are passionate about what they like. I've made it a practice over the years to avoid discussion of, for that reason. I am not bragging about that; I was quick and careless in my dismissal of his music. This dismissal was based on "Love Hurts", and yes I admit I never really got beyond that song; again, I'm not…

You've had the same office and the same secretary for five years? I don't know why that's remarkable, but it is.

"I don't like it because I don't understand it". Ok. See my later posts above, if you want. I'm willing to admit I might need to revisit his music, and I may do that.

You know what, you're right. I should explore him a little more. I'm not doing myself any favors by not.
