Maggie's Farm

I remember Firing Line as that program I avoided watching at all costs when I stumbled upon it as a child.  It was boring, the man speaking had a funny elitist accent, and it was talking, no action.  My father loved it.

Lately, I've been watching some of the old episodes and have determined (to no surprise) Buckley was often touching on subjects that were timeless.  Much of what he covered is still very relevant today.

A discussion with Alan Ginsburg on what the Avant Garde is, and how it should be making its point in society, would be relevant today.  However, a panel discussion about what a Hippie is...well, that's just good fun.  Especially with a boozed-up Jack Kerouac, in his last public appearance, doing his best to mock a clueless academic.

I think a fun program today would be to review old programs like this, stitch relevant parts together, and show just how deep down the rabbit hole Buckley often went.
