    Not your run- of- the- mill subjects in Cavett interviews. I think you learn more from watching artists in Dick's shows than anywhere else. Deep and profound conversations.

    "They're Croatian and we're Slavic" I was wondering why he said that, since we're a pretty god forsaken country, until I realized this was filmed in 1991 during the civil war, but what he meant to say is "Serbian" not Slavic lol

    That name Kingsley is saying around 5:20 is Alf Garnett -- the main character in the British comedy series 'Til Death Us Do Part,' from which the U.S. series 'All in the Family' was derived. (So I guess that would mean Alf Garnett was the British Archie Bunker.)

    He's wrong about the British not being entranced by indigenous gangsters. There were a series of gangster movies and television series in the 1950's to the 1990's that were all white working class men who were redeemable in that they aspired to the middle classes.
