BREWSTER MCCLOUD, Altman's film for MGM right after M*A*S*H is missing from the 1970s list, but another vital lecture from the great professor!!!!!!!!!

Great lecture series but as a Canadian, I take umbrage to Professor Thorburn calling Leonard Cohen an AMERICAN singer. Cohen was CANADIAN!

Leonard Cohen lived at the Hotel Chelsea, so that remade him into an American.
