I'm sure all of you were as delighted as I was to see that NBC is
a-fixin' to serve us up a TV-movie rendering (see all definitions of this
word) of 'The Sixties.' (February 9, Prime Time).
Since the sages at NBC have fortuitously undertaken thus to make sense of
that wacky decade, we all should tune in and perhaps even devote a VLVL
postmortem session to the new wisdom thereby revealed. I also suggest
that we temporarily suspend all discussion and debate on 'the Movement'
until the definitive word comes down from our betters at General
Electric.
I did not catch the cast of this Televisual Event of Global Proportion,
but am sure that the casting will be accomplished with the strictest
verisimilitude in mind. I would expect something like the following as
possible candidates:
Skeet Ulrich as Mario Savio
Harry Dean Stanton as Dave Dellinger
Ben Stein as Henry Kissinger
Sean Penn (with a wicked dye-job) as Abbie Hoffman
Samuel L. Jackson as Huey P. Newton
Cameron Diaz as Jane Fonda
In his last cinematic role, the Maestro, William S. Burroughs as LBJ
Can't wait!!
