When I was about fourteen, I came home from school and watched Merv Griffin. He was funny and cool and he adored Totie Fields. So did I.The one bit I still remember was when he and Arthur Treacher read aloud the lyrics to the Beatles' "Hello Goodbye". It registered in my head for just a second - I paid money to buy that album? It then occurred to me that the Gods of Rock do not always make sense. Or use correct English. Or know what the hell they're talking about.
Here is something I could send to "PostSecret", but I used to have this little fantasy that Reality Check Woman and I would be on the Merv Griffin show one day and that I would be Totie Fields to her Melissa Manchester.
Yeah, that woulda worked.
Isn't it pretty to think so?

I do remember that particular show and how the next female guest/starlet emoted the lyrics back to Merv!
I remember that show too! Do you know who the next female guest/starlet was? She read the lyrics back to Merv in a manner suggesting a Romeo and Juliet-type exchange.
