Rent these tonight! The US vs John Lennon and Shut Up and Sing (Dixie Chicks)
Edited on Sat Mar-03-07 04:29 PM by Beaverhausen
I rented both of these last night - they made for a great double feature.

Both are extremely well done, both truly portray how the parnoid governments of Nixon and Bush try to keep anyone who dissents quiet - especially artists, and of course both have great music.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Of course, they are kind of depressing, because it shows that things are worse now than they were in Nixon's time. In the Special Features of the Lennon film, several of those interviewed confirm this - G. Gordon Liddy of course disagrees. God, what a psycho he is!

1. Thanks for the recommendation

I will add them to my Netflix list today.
It is going to be hard though with the John Lennon one, knowing that he was killed for it, and that was an emotional thing for me.

Have you seen Who Killed The Electric Car? That is well worth watching too

3. I was in the vid store last Sunday, were they just released?
If they did you may not have to reply, as the video store is directly across the street from my house and I'll probably be back before you hit post. Hahaha

Thanx for the heads up.
