“Bruno” Persona compared to Blackface
In light of the controversial blackface appearance in the newest project, Alligator-Horses, this reference to blackface seems interesting.
“Baron Cohen’s Brüno is a gay minstrel, in the most literal sense of the word. Just as the characters of the burnt-cork vaudevillians had, bound up ineluctably with their dark complexions, traits like being shiftless, lazy, and ‘a-feared of spooks’ as their eyes bugged out in Neanderthal, superstitious terror, Brüno’s homosexuality comes bundled up with a lot of unattractive software.” –David Rakoff

This article paraphrases the controversy.
This delves into a bit more detail.
Geronimo Country (working title) features an interview with Geronimo’s living ancestor, Harlyn Geronimo and his wife–in addition to Vietnam War Veteran, Jerry Eagan, who leads us on an exciting trek through the country that Geronimo himself would have traversed before his capture.

Ray Hill’s The Prison Show
“The State of Texas doesn’t yet permit inmates to have access to telephones or the internet. So for many inmates The Prison Show is the only way for them to hear the voices of their relatives, loved ones and friends between the visits which often come much too rarely due to the financial hardships they entail.”
Listen on Friday nights at 9:00 p.m. Central Time. Or online via the website any time.
