[lbo-talk] Weathermen history

[andie nachgeborenen]

Now there was a group that didn't get the point of
Subterreanean Homesick Blues. "You don't need a
weatherman to kno which way the wind blows."

Here's Bill Ayer's personal version, Fugitive Days:

See also the film Underground, with  Bill Ayers &
Kathy Boudin:

and another movie:

To be taken with a large dose of salt is Todd Gitlin's
book -- Gitlin is a ex-SDS leader who has become a
moderate Democrat and spends his times dectying the
excesses of the 60s -- that that the WU wasn't
excessive.

He also talks about the WU in his book The Sixties, as
does Kirkpatrick Sale in his SDS (a much better book).

Ron Jacobs errs on the other side in his sympathetic
portrayal, the Way The Wind Blew:

Not to be missed is Marge Piercy's novel of the 70s
years underground in Vida:
