They aren't stupid and they represented themselves in the right way. They are simpy two individuals that refuse to be part of the capitalist order and they don't care about their public image.

They are beautiful and so real. I'd like to see the second part of this interview.

"I haven't seen the movie so I cannot be biased..." - that is just preposterous ! I rate you couldn't display more bias - and also more disrespect - than by not even slighty getting acquainted with the subject of your upcoming discussion as a tv-host, as shown here to a very pathetic extent. the film is brilliant although, admittedly, the average american suburb-supersize-mum may have difficulties understanding the plot entirely...

[BigDogStoryTime]

such a disrespectful interview towards two young people

[Nazzz65]

''What do you want to know?'' is 60's talk for ''f**k you''.

Yeah, well...Mark Frechette robbed a bank in Boston in 1973 where one of the robbers (also a member of Hyman's commune/community/cult) died. Then he himself died in a weight lifting "accient" in jail in 1975. "Standing there with a gun, cleaning out a teller's cage - that's about as fuckin' honest as you can get, man!" (Mark Frechette, 1947-75).

I watched this movie on tcm and Daria was so beautiful in it. shame she didn't do any after this.

They seem so calm, serious and kind of depressed. Nowadays there is too much laugh and too much nonsense in such kind of shows.

@frikandellino dude Cavett apologizes right off the bat and says that he'll be seeing it "in a week"; perhaps it's schedulling problems, and not the biased disrespect that you count on, that lead to him not seeing it previously? "Zabriskie Point"'s smug anti-consumerist clichés really aren't half as complex as you make them out, either (still a good movie, tho - pretty!)

[MsOrchidBouquet]

Well, at least he got more animated towards the end. And (gasp) she actually said something.

@spinavaholka There was no second part. After the break, they were gone.

@johnnycheck99 He was, and his assistants were even worse. By searching on Mel Lyman's name you can find a website with hundreds of articles by and about him. The Rolling Stone piece is on that site in its entirety; while controversial, it is a real eye opener; frankly, I believe every word of it.
