From wiki ” Fear and Loathing on the Road to Hollywood, also known as Fear and Loathing in Gonzovision, is a short film produced by BBC Omnibus in 1978 on the subject of Hunter S. Thompson, directed by Nigel Finch.
The road trip / film pairs Thompson with Finch’s fellow Briton the illustrator Ralph Steadman. The party travel to Hollywood via Death Valley and Barstow from Las Vegas, scene of the pair’s 1971 collaboration.[1] It contains interviews with Thompson and Steadman, as well as some short excerpts from some of his work.”
From theehibachi ” If anyone doubts that the Harlem Globetrotters were incomparable athletes as well as world-class entertainers, this documentary will put them wise. The documentary features interviews with everyone from former Globetrotters and NBA coaches to Henry Kissinger. “The Team That Changed The World” lays out not only the development of the team itself – how original Globetrotters Marques Haynes and Reece “Goose” Tatum turned a sport into a form of vaudeville without sacrificing amazing displays of skill – but also the volatile racial politics of the 1930s, ’40s, and ’50s, when the Globetrotters were at their peak. In only an hour, the documentary argues persuasively that this basketball team, as they toured the world, became a symbol of racial progress and American good will. It’s not the same as seeing the Globetrotters live, but fans of these great performers will find this documentary a pleasure.

Excerpt from dispatch.com ”
Only days ago, he was a homeless beggar who spent days holding a cardboard sign and nights sleeping in a makeshift tent behind an abandoned gas station.
This morning, he’s in New York for an appearance on the Today show, suddenly famous after millions of people worldwide heard the former radio employee’s “golden voice” in an online video.
“I feel like Susan Boyle,” Williams, 53, said yesterday. “Or Justin Bieber.
“It’s almost choking me.”
At a North Side highway exit ramp last month, Dispatch videographer Doral Chenoweth III shot a video of Williams demonstrating what his sign described as his “God-given gift of voice.”
Posted on Dispatch.com on Monday and then uploaded to YouTube, the video has since attracted almost 8.5 million views and yielded for Williams numerous interview requests, as well as potential job offers from the likes of MTV, ESPN and the National Football League.
Yesterday, Williams told Fox 8 in Cleveland that he plans to take a gig with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which offered him full-time announcing work and a house.”
