Ken Burns

[Chuck Nessa]

I have always found his "stuff" to be angled for the best sentimental story and never took the work seriously as "documentary".

His jazz series was mostly a swing-era series anyway, and I thought a lot of it was fun. His baseball series, with his New York-Boston obsession, pissed me off. He ignored an awful lot of interesting / important stuff.

Almost entirely off the subject: In Harlem, NYC, on the hill overlooking where the Polo Grounds used to be, across the river from Yankee Stadium, is Jackie Robinson Park. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. Where, if anywhere, is Willie Mays Park?

Moderators: potential massive thread merge opportunity

I think the topic needs the new airing.

KB's theory of history....

I wished I lived in the golden age

Giving it up on the broadway stage

Hang with the rats and smoke cigars

Just have a break with Frank and count the stars

Dressed to the nines, we've had too much

Shiny jewels, casino cash

Tapping feet, wanna take the lead

A trip back in time is all I need

Oh!

Sing it out loud gonna get back honey

Sing it out loud get away with me

Sing it out loud on a trip back honey

Sing it out loud and let yourself free

Whoo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo

Perhaps a cable network will syndicate.

I'm actually very interested to know what Brute thinks of the Ken Burns Jazz series.
