Couldn't agree more about the classic film "A Face in the Crowd" and Andy Griffith's excellent portrayal of the loathsome "Lonesome" Rhodes. I remember a few decades back and the first time I watched that movie and thinking at the time what a departure it was from how the public has come to think of him.

Quite a talent he was indeed.

R.I.P. Andy.

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
