A one-of-a-kind for sure. As the story goes, he tried his hand at being a DJ, but it didn’t work out becuase he kept healing the hole in the center every time he touched a record.

My father-in-law used to tell me that he would put knots on my head that Oral Roberts couldn't take off.

The release says there will be a private family internment and that arrangements for a public memorial service in Tulsa will be announced soon. I believe that prisoners or detainees are interned, while remains are interred. But let's call the whole thing off and bid him rest in peace.

When I was young and uncommonly stupid, I considered giving money to Oral Roberts. My Mom told me she would break my arm if I tried...and that I would understand when I was older.
She was right on both counts.
