Great video! Have seen the PBS show many times and always watch it! Thanx!
Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

It's so nice that people took the time to honor Dick with this museum. Looks like a lot of time was put into it. I will have to go there for sure. I own the 2 big volumes of journals and 3 DVD's about Dick. I still haven't read "The Early Years" journals but one of these winters I'll sit down with it. Really great stuff. Thanks for the link. He was one of a kind, who lived life on his own terms.

I went to the Field of Dreams in Iowa back around 2000. I love road trips.

SaganagaJoe: "The book, with Sam Keith, is wonderful. One of my favorites. "
There was a bit of controversy about this book. Apparently Keith wasn't exactly honest in how he quoted Richard. To "sell the book" he used words and phrases that Richard never used.
I would recommend getting the 2 large volumes of Richards journals. "More Readings ..." and "The Early Years". There's a third out now too about the years in the 1980's.

That sounds to me as having some degree of truth to it. I just started the one with Keith and it didn't strike me as Dick's style right from the start. Still, it'll be a good read--albeit a tad too polished.
