Hallo Paul, i am responding to your post about coffee houses. do you
know Alan Miller? i got the 3/4 inch video master from him. i am
involved with the Oakland Museum on a show about california and the
vietnam war. do you have achieves that reflect california and the
vietnam war? it would be great to do something about this penom of the
coffee houses and the whole story. do you happen to have anything about
me and the FTA show my achieves are blank on that and i would love to
fill in that blank.
i left the show over Jane's elitism and political navet. Alan
explained that she became more and more a radical maoist on the
overseas tour and that is rather obvious in the film as she and the show
participants spout slogans etc. i worried about the real political
workers they came in contact with the the GI's and repercussions after
the show left town. she was incapable of understanding that point of
course to the extreme of endangering herself with the stupid act of
visiting the POW camps and making msgs for Hanoi Hanna and of course
getting photo opt on the anti aircraft gun. she will never live that
down. now she is a born again christian rumor has it. as vonnegut says
"so it goes"
yes there should be an archive somewhere maybe the oakland museum is the
place. E! ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION is doing a 2 hour special in the
fall on ms fonda and interviewed me about the FTA show and i volunteered
the movie to them if they let me take it to the place to make a copy for
them. we shall see what happens.
cheers, country joe mcdonald
