    From Elmer Quinn@1:3634/60 to August Abolins on Sat Mar 8 04:16:07 2025
    Hello Elmer Quinn!

    That movie struck me as a kid in the 1970s - the message of conservation
    and the juxtaposition of folk music in space. Was that Joan Baez?

    Yes Joan Baez song was at the end of the movie.

    It's actually a Peter Schickele song, but only sung by Baez.

    Baez = a distinctive confident voice, good choice!
    Thanks, the movie was a juxtaposition of environmental conservatism with a triple homicide and suicide and a song written by Peter Schickele and sung by the lovely Joan Baez.

    I want to see that show up in the Netflix summary page!

    On the YouTube channel, Movies, Music & Monsters, there's an episode that goes behind the scenes. Good stuff.

    If you'd like to watch it online for free, you can find it here:

    The downside is you might run into buffering delays along the way. Also, you have to double-click on everything, don't know why.

    What a great movie - I remember seeing this in the 70's!

    Of course I was young then, my reaction now might be a little different. Haven't seen if for a long time though.

    Bruce Dern was good.
