I learned to dance to Big Band music and the popular music of WW2 was popular for years after.
Where are our Andrews Sisters...our Irving Berlin?...Where are our John Wayne war movies?...Where is a depiction of what we faced and are facing still...
We have heros...why no movies?
Ironic that the dynamic portrayed in "Reds" has been turned around, so that when someone like Mel Gibson, or a Charlie Daniels, breaks orthodoxy the persecution begins in earnest. All I can say is thank God for much of the new country music. Guess that makes this New Yorker a bit of a counter-eletist.
