Gordon Bloyer, talks about burning pants flags and then zooms on John Wayne portrait

Gordon Bloyer is a political commentator in Portage, Indiana. I recorded this off the public access channel in 1999. Gordon talks about burning flag like items and then zooms in and out on a John Wayne portrait on his wall to end his show.

@gordonbloyershow I appreciate the difficulties with production 10 years ago. I'm guessing you were editing on a tape to tape setup. I've done that setup, as well as editing with a razor blade block with splice tape, and it can be quite frustrating. I'm glad digital is so simple and affordable now.

I hope you can appreciate how bizarre the ending is.

All that aside, making burning a flag illegal is a moot point. The reason people would want to burn the flag should be the concern.

@Thisisnotporn That was PAID access. Paid access and public access have been removed in Indiana. Since you seem to have a superior attitude about the quality of the broadcast remember that was ten years ago and my show had an impact on the elections in Portage. Quality production did not matter and I don't care what you think about the production.

@gordonbloyershow It doesn't even have credits playing. That's not a closing, that's a slow zoom on a painting with Elvis playing off a boombox in the room. It's closer to Dada experimental cinema than a TV show close. Does your show still air on the public broadcast station in Indiana?

@Thisisnotporn ???? No deal, just a closing. Something wrong with that?

@gordonbloyershow What was the deal with the John Wayne/Elvis zoom?

When the tapes get old they don't always run well. Too bad that was a good commentary.
