August 7: Marvin Hamlisch

Musical theater and film-score composer Marvin Hamlisch has died in Los Angeles. During 1999, the Reverend Jerry Falwell said he couldn't be sure whether or not Hamlisch is the Antichrist.

Falwell spoke in response to a question from then-comedian and now-Senator Al Franken. According to Falwell, the Antichrist could be any living male Jew, which prompted Franken's question.


Here's the excerpt from Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right, where Franken talks about asking Falwell about Hamlisch.
