        My good friend, the late Tony Funches (Interview with Kristy O' Brien - http://www.doorscollectorsmagazine.com/magazine/Tony_Funches.html ), generously shared the RS Coverwall link with us on his Facebook Page a couple of years ago. Go to the Internet Archive: https://www.archive.org  Type https://www.rollingstone.com/coverwall into the Wayback Machine, then choose 2018. It is a goldmine for anyone who has an interest in researching historical information concerning our culture, over the last 50 years. A mind boggling wealth of accessible articles, in-depth interviews, and unforgettable photographs. Tony Funches, who was a pleasure to know, was working on his autobiography. In his memory, here is an instrumental by one of the musicians he knew, and whose music he listened to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xb1WntjHZso And by another musician, one of his favourite songs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DbTIKHYwog

       Well Folks, Folkies, Folkish and Folklike,
It's been exactly 10 years tonight, since I first created this blog, went online and began publishing my articles, reviews, poems, the novelette etc.... Hope you've enjoyed stopping in to visit, and checking on what's new from time to time. At this point I'm not sure if I'll continue to do this, but if I do, you'll see something new posted; eventually. Regardless, I want to say Thank You in whatever country or continent you're sitting in. This has been very enjoyable, and a lot of fun for me.

All The Best,
Antonio G. Pereira

Billy Jack

        Tom Laughlin was one hell of an Actor and Filmmaker. He made the films, 'Billy Jack' (the mysterious and mystical Native American Vietnam Veteran protector of a very progressive Freedom School, based in the southwestern United States), 'The Trial of Billy Jack' (the explosively powerful sequel to Billy Jack), 'The Master Gunfighter' (a standout, highly unusual Western, filmed with exquisitely beautiful and gorgeous Cinematography); and finally 'Billy Jack Goes To Washington' (made in the aftermath of Watergate, and which had great difficulty being released to movie theatres, at the time). There is a Box Set of the Complete Billy Jack Films. 'The Master Gunfighter', you can find on a separate DVD. All of these films are required viewing for Historians and Film Students, who want to be educated about what went on in this country, back in the Post '60s/1970s era. Very powerful and moving. Especially 'The Trial of Billy Jack'. Tom Laughlin did this country a great favour. A Patriot if there ever was one!
