The Monday Morning Memo

WANT TO DO SOME TIME TRAVELING?
In the first video below we see Henry Fonda – the friend who read the Robert Louis Stevenson poem at Steinbeck’s funeral – talking with Dick Cavett about a movie that was released the same year Steinbeck died. This interview was December 30, 1969.

In the second video we see the scene in the movie that Fonda describes to Cavett. 

In the third video, we see the opening scene from that movie, widely regarded to be the most dramatic opening scene of any western film ever made. Welcome to 1968, the year that Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy were assassinated.

Random Quote:

“I still have trouble when I think about Chicago (68'). That week at the Convention changed everything I'd ever taken for granted about this country and my place in it… Everytime I tried to tell somebody what happened in Chicago I began crying, and it took me years to understand why…Chicago was the End of the Sixties, for me.

The hippies, who had never really believed they were the wave of the future anyway, saw the election results as brutal confirmation of the futility of fighting the establishment on its own terms. The thrust is no longer for ‘change' or ‘progress' or ‘revolution,' but merely to escape, to live on the far perimeter of a world that might have been.
“

- Hunter S. Thompson
