   This is great; thanks, Ken.

   Now I’m trying to find that book…can’t find her name. Or his.

   I read this site and I have made a documentary film

   This seems an apt time to link it here: http://www.franzotto.com

   I believe it does justice to the tradition(s) represented in the work of these men.

   Thank You,

   …as he lights up a pipe. Hah!

   I think I like the shovel-butting part the best.

   I like the film.

   thanks owen

   I watched more of these videos of Errol talking to Werner… something struck me about Errol saying about shots that some are symbol and some fetish

   I found myself thinking about this again today

   very cool of errols to “rep” the remainder table.

   But surely, fetishes are symbols?I’d watch the clip again, but at the moment I don’t feel like spending 15 minutes doing so . . . I’m sure I’ll get back to it again sometime soon.I wish someone could direct me to this writer that Errol mentioned. I haven’t been able to find the name or the book title. Sigh… .But Herzog’s promotion of the Warren Report as a compelling crime story and required reading was classic. Pure Herzog.
