Default Ken Burns at BYU

Ken Burns spoke at BYU today. But I had an appt. that I could not miss so I was unable to attend. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!! Due to copyright concerns over clips he showed, there will be no rebroadcast.

Apparently he has just finished a new documentary on WWII called "The War". Initial reviews say it may be his best work yet. Can't wait to see it.

That would have been awesome. His Civil War and Baseball documentaries were outstanding.

I'll be looking forward to this one.

I agree completely. Great stuff. Here's The War coming in September.

Does anyone think he came because he knew BYU students wouldn't protest?

Perhaps BYU students thought it was Montgomery Burns who was speaking?
