Anyone ever see the video short "Stony does Houston"?

[Ellen Forradalom]

Stoney does Houston by Bob Hercules, 15:00, USA, 1992
In this irreverent and hilarious videotape, renowned street performer Stoney Burke leads us on a subversive tour of the 1992 Republican National Convention in Houston’s Astrodome. Hercules’ and Burke’s unobtrusive recording allowed them to take advantage of the on-stage/off-stage character switches of successful politicians, illuminating the murky space between public servant and celebrity.

I saw this at a film festival ten years ago and it was a scream. Anyone else ever see this?

1. No but he was a great influence on me when I went to SF State from

1982 through 1984. His rants/routines were funny, incisive and kick ass. There were others who debated and spoke impromptu at the time as well. The United Third World Front for the People of Color took over the Student Body from Student Body President on down. Derek Gilliam was SB Pres and a kickass speaker and debater. Wonder whatever happened to him. BTW Mario Savio, while not extremely active politically active, was the valedictorian of the Senior Class in 1984.

2. How interesting

A far cry from the drab workaday college I went to. Debate? What's that?
