I hope ya'll found this interview as interesting as I did. At first I totally agree with John and his assumption of the movie business as it was and it is very prevalent today, and possibly worse. I love how he hates on Easy Rider. Thats a movie my mom had to sneak out to go see. I've recently seen it and I thought it wasn't that bad. Our millenium based generation is used to almost every movie having a sexual scene. The one in Easy Rider is slightly graphic, but by today's standards its barely a rated R movie. Just think about what they had to say in 1970.
When John starts talking about the Indians I think he is a pretty fair dude. When he made the joke about the Indians buying back Alcatraz for what the colonists gave for Manhattan was pretty funny. Especially b/c Manhattan was brought from a tribe of Indians who didnt own it.
I also like John's ideas about socialism. The idea of Socialism is great. Communism too. But the reality is that a pure socialistic/communistic society cannot exist on a large scale. I really have respect for John's answer to the question, because there could've been a way more ignorant and biased answer there, but he handled it in a very respectable fashion.
And when John tells the guy his sex-life is none of his God-damn business that made the whole interview. Its an attention grabber.
