Is there a DUer out there that has managed to get "Fortunate Son"?
I keep hearing how the publisher purged it.

Not hard to find after a hard, dirty legal fight to get it out there. Look on Amazon new or used.

6. I have a copy
I bought it at Borders in Birmingham, MI about a year or so ago for $16.50. I haven't read it yet because it angers up the blood.

7. I have a copy
from Soft Skull Press in Brooklyn but I'm pretty sure I ordered it through either Amazon or B&N a year or so back...

just checked, paperback still available on Amazon....

ppg 310-316 cover * at Project PULL in Houston... the ONLY volunteer work he's EVER done in his life and yet... never mentions it!

He was paying a debt to society for a cocaine bust when he worked for Project PULL.

13. I have it.
Does any DUer know who Jim Hatfields Okla., connection on Lake Eufaula was? He is the one who explained the bush* cocaine use.

14. Oh, well good. I thought the publisher put a stop on the release.
At least a few DUers have copies in case. The public may want to know why Dubya skipped out on his physical, which in turn may lead to his volunteer service at Project PULL etc, which will lead to his cocaine arrest!:-)

21. I have a Soft Skull Press first edition
And Hatfield was still alive when it was published. I also have a video capture of a long interview (or most of it) Hatfield and Hicks (from Soft Skull) did on Democracy Now a few years ago. It might also be available from http://www.democracynow.org

27. Found the link to an interview Democracy Now did with Hatfield in 2000
There's an audio and video stream available, as well as a transcript

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=03/08/11/1447218&mode=thread&tid=25

You can buy the Video (for $30) as well.

29. I got mine directly from soft skull publications
I got it shortly after the 2000 selection and I have been pouring over it with a fine toothed comb lately.

If you google Softskull publications you'll probably get a link to their website (I assume they have one)
