"Infamous" boycotter is more like it. I'd be open to a little on-line interview but I don't really want to re-live that whole protest experience too deeply, it got pretty uncomfortable for a while; the worldwide response was WAY overblown in my estimation and often misconstrued by the media (and some of the public) as a publicity stunt FOR the remake (which I've since seen, and my worst fears were realized). Mike Weatherford is my good pal, a very very nice guy, too, and you should really check out his site (which is just an ad for his terrific book), http://www.cultvegas.com,) and contact him for your project, he knows a lot more about classic Vegas than I do (or anyone I know, for that matter). But I'd be happy to correspond with you - just email me at [email protected] - I'm already worried that by bringing this tired old subject up in public again I'm opening myself up to a another barrage of insults (I even got anonymous threats!?!, though I should say, most of the feedback was supportive, but even that struck me as odd), though I imagine these are safe waters for someone with my controversial (and ultimately meaningless) opinions. Still, I'd much rather communicate privately after this, so I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers!
