Nathan P. Bridle's clips of Gore Vidal

Some of my favourite clips.
It includes people talking about Gore Vidal, then Gore Vidal on Gore Vidal. This is followed by Gore Vidal on social issues, then on the Presidents, followed by his views of writers. This is all ended by his views on where he lived, and obituaries.

Excellent....thank you very much!

[@37Dionysos]

THANKS, GREAT JOB! Made harder by sheer number of great GV appearances.

[@blessOTMA]

Love Gore. Thank you for posting

[@Bombtrack411]

"Why become a senator when you can *buy* one?!" That is still as relevant now than ever.

My spiritual and intellctual father. Me an unworthy son. Great vid. Thanks.

He did make it an art of getting underneath people's fingernails without leaving any bodies behind, unlike FUX and talk radio.

I do say ol chap I like the way he points out rome and new england as some of the more sophisticated societes in the world but Naples and Fall River can fall into that delapidated catagory, but we all have pros and cons and have allegences to where we live.

I love this cat. Gore alan watts hunter s. george carlin these are my biggest influences

[@37Dionysos]

Vidal and Watts would say, "Read a lot more books. Old books."

[@MattSingh1]

And Christopher Hitchens.

[@michaelneel4828]

I used to think I would have loved to have been in the so called light ! I now know there is nothing to be missed !!!

[@nathanbridle]

Thank you for that. However, I am intending on cleaning it up, and of course adding some more clips.

[@sanfrancisco89]

I have not got the whole of the Cavett program, nor the Carson, they were part of another documentary. The South Bank show is on youtube, just type in Gore Vidal Southbank.

[@rickpaton7538]

I've never heard the joke at 7:33. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 how biting.

[@georgegreig8054]

Yeah that one always makes laugh.

[@mwoldin]

Bravo! What's interesting is that I used to laugh, as a puerile snob, at Merv Griffin. But look how much rope he would give Vidal to untwine. Today a man of that type gets five minutes, if that.

[@nathanbridle]

I do not think he is saying that at all. He highlights some of the positives of the founding fathers of the US, and what he liked about Rome and Ravello. Since this is the case you are ofcourse correct, one will highlight the areas one knows and one likes, that is just natural. As for 'that dilapidated catagory', what an odd use of the word.

[@moiratell]

THATS a mutha fuggin Intellectual teehee

[@raginald7mars408]

this is like Stefan Zweig The World of Yesterday submerged in Cultural Plate Tectonics gone...
