One of my favorite insane people of all time, Robert Tilton is endlessly amusing whether you keep the sound on or not. Actually I spent the entire month of January 1990 watching his show on cable - years before he went to court and had to pay out hundreds of millions of dollars for defrauding people. I even went to his church in Dallas a year later and a horse walked down the aisle with some guy dressed as Yankee Doodle on top of it while Tilton was speaking in 'tongues'. I wrote an article about him, but the magazine I sent it to had done a spread on Tilton the month before, unfortunately. He's a freak - almost Dickensinian in a way. And there aren't many of those nowadays.
