Default Re: Greenwich Village movie

A pretty interesting article Char thanks for posting the link.
I am having trouble getting Google alerts go work nowadays very few if any get into my inbox so I am missing these tidbits.
In this article about making a film about the influence of the early 60's Greenwich Village scene on music, Gord seems to be mentioned just once but I wonder if the film maker approached EMP?
Towards the end there is the following paragraph that does not mention Gord.
BPM: You interviewed an impressive list of stars for the film — Pete Fornatale, Buffy Saint-Marie, Happy Traum, Ian and Sylvia Tyson, Steve Earle, Eric Andersen and many more; but were any personalities elusive?  Did anyone turn you down?
There were a few.  I wanted to speak with James Taylor because he started in the Village, though those were difficult days for him personally.  Another one I couldn't get was Paul Simon.  With Leonard Cohen, I went through his management and they said he really doesn't do interviews, which is too bad because Judy Collins covered his songs.  And then Joni Mitchell; I received a lovely email back from her management saying that "Joni wishes you the best of luck, but she doesn't do anything regarding her career any longer."She just doesn't.
I had trouble getting that video to play and sync properly
We were all young once!!
I guess Nostalgia ain't what it used to be!!!
