I was surprised by this comment. I love Marc, and have heard his recent concerns about rising fascism, but his opinions about censorship when John Waters was on the podcast were a bit disappointing. I absolutely think what John Waters does is the antidote to fascism, but I think some of what makes Waters special is his radical free speech, where his films, especially Female Trouble and Pink Flamingos, are offensive and downright revolting, not politically, but just to human beings in general. Marc seemed to push back against Waters who was talking about the left's recent wading into censorship, and Marc pushed back. Obviously the political right is full of danger, and will soon be the death of society if it is allowed to continue, but that does not mean the left's recent dance with fascism is nothing to fight against either. Hopefully Marc has matured his opinions since their interview, and his comment here was that in display.

On July 5th, 1969, in Hyde Park, London, England, the Stones performed a free concert for 300-500 thousand people and employed the English Hell's Angles to provided security. They were very polite fellows who'd tip toe through the crowd uttering apologies, "Excuse me, excuse me." I was there. If Mick didn't know what the Oakland branch of the Hell's Angels were like, there is the reason. Sonny Barger blamed it on the Stones and their music, which was all BS. I remember reading about it in Rolling Stone. I've seen the film and it makes the most of the song and the atmosphere and the audience to depict a dark mood. If you want dark, read Hunter S. Thompson's Hell's Angels: The Strange and Terrible Saga of the Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs.

Masterpiece. It's about an ambitious, utterly amoral journalist, played by Kirk Douglas who accidentally stumbles upon a "boy trapped in a well" situation, then exploits to shit out of it, creating a massive media circus to monetize in as ruthlessly as he can. It's pretty brutal and a great complement to A Face In The Crowd. Ace in the Hole really was prescient in showing how predatory exploitative tabloid journalism can run completely amok with really bad end results, especially in our current age where social media platforms have figured out to amp that up at scale with all the attendant chaos and mayhem.
