1. I have that on DVD. It's very good.

It also includes an interview with his father.

2. Just watched it on cable, learned much and enjoyed. I didn't

see the interview with his father though. What an extraordinary time and how things have changed since then.

I wonder where his poetry and wild side came from. The family's many moves must have been a major influence.

3. It must be a DVD added feature.

He was proud that his son stood his ground and his defended his own ideals, convictions and philosophies.

4. Yes, & glad his father said this. Father/son relationships can be

a real challenge.
