@TidalFlats Apropos of Woody & Bari, I was thinking of the wonderful Hal Ashby movie about him, "Bound for Glory," which I can't recommend enough, and also can't find on any streaming service. The same is true of Ashby's flick about consequences of the Vietnam War, "Coming Home." Or for that matter, John Sayles' "Matewan," about a West Virginia coal mine strike.

It's almost as if the Lords of Streaming don't want us to have any entertainment with cultural messages that don't stroke their egos.
