I miss the hell out of MTV, with the idiot VJs and the bouncy videos and the fun...
The only quibble I have with the Ferguson clip (which is funny, and true, and important) is that those guys at the front of the white pages? People who have alcohol problems due to serious mental illness, who fail over and over to stay sober even going to the rooms seven days a week, need more than that, and two suicides in my family say that whatever that "else" is doesn't yet exist.
(Kesey is here because of the start of Sometimes a Great Notion, and because he drew some lines about drugs and alcohol which let some of his friends find the way out, while trapping others in the wrong part of the maze).
Julia, the paradox is, you can't get well by yourself but nobody else can do it for you.
