This is simply OVERWHELMING! What a great job, Clint. I've only watched it twice so far -- expect I'll see it dozens more times.
Just a few first impressions: Imagine the kitchen which held a whole gamut of post-war talent! From Bowles, Hockey, & Glass to Kerouac, Basquiat, & Patti Smith! I think the only one who could come close to that …

Just a few first impressions: Imagine the kitchen which held a whole gamut of post-war talent! From Bowles, Hockey, & Glass to Kerouac, Basquiat, & Patti Smith!

I have so much more to process about those around him -- & particularly how the constant homoeroticism had an impact to all their works, but I wanted to let you know how wonderful this piece is & how much I appreciate it.
