OLD 97's Just Like California
THE GOURDS Caledonia
R.E.M. How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us
I spoke by phone with historian Doug Brinkley (author of "The Majic Bus,"
editor of the recently published letters of Hunter Thompson, and biographer of
Jimmy Carter) who was a friend of the televison journalist Charles Kuralt who
died in New York City on July 4 at the age of 62. Doug spoke about the
little-known friendship between Kuralt and Hunter Thompson and philosophized
about the historical significance of Kuralt's famous "On The Road" essays.
Doug, who heads up the Eisenhower Center for American Studies at the
University of New Orleans, spoke from a small house-on-stilts on the Gulf of
Mexico in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, where he is currently writing a massive
"history of America" to be published next year by Viking Penguin. When he
lived in New York (where he taught at Hofstra University) he was often a guest
on my show.
