1. I don't know Woody Guthrie's history, but seems his son took after him

in fighting for human rights.

Arlo Guthrie and "Alice's Restaurant" are clearly in my mind as part of
the anti-Vietnam war protesters. People like him helped to give protest
a focus.

2. Haskell Wexler.

I've enjoyed Haskell Wexler's work for John Sayles, which also ties in very well with the progressive angle -- Silver City, Limbo, and especially Matewan. And Limbo makes for an interesting counterpoint to the whole Sarah Palin shtick about Alaska.

3. Silent, 1925 "Wizard of Oz" on TCM "Silent Sunday Night" 12:15 AM Monday

This silent version of "The Wizard of Oz," pre-Judy, (1925), seems really interesting; as a matter of fact, I'm really excited about it. I have never seen any of the earlier versions, (or read the books, for that matter), just the classic, wonderful 1939 one that I hope everybody knows. This is not a musical, obviously, has a different cast (Oliver Hardy, before Laurel and Hardy, is the Tin Woodsman), and is not like the 1939 story. According to "The Wizard of Oz--The Official 50th Anniversary Pictorial History," there were several plays and movies before the famous 1939 one, and this 1925 movie "was a wildly original story with little relation to Baum's book," (page 6, picture caption). I don't actually know what the story was about, but TCM has a page for it: http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=504395 . I will be taping this, and it could be, I hope, fabulous--one thing for sure, it will be weird.
