Interview: Al Franken at the closing of the Winterland Ballroom 1978 [View all]

[bathroommonkey76]

Since I am new to this site I thought I would offer up (to the political junkies and gods) this video from an old VHS tape that I found a few weeks ago. This interview is interesting b/c Franken pretends like he is on the Democratic Convention floor in 1968. It's hard to say if he is high or not. Near the end it sounds like he says "acid". And when the video cuts to the floor at the end, you can hear him apologizing to Norm and Glenn.

A little more background about this video:

Winterland Ballroom was the site of many great concerts. This happened to be its last show. The Grateful Dead performed the final show on this night. Their opening act were The Blues Brothers.

Thanks DU for such a cool site. I plan on feeding my political obsession with this site and its users.

Thanks,

David
