Auteur Watch - Jim Brown

The documentary.  Is there any more beloved form of filmed entertainment?  And what better group of people to do a documentary about than about musicians?  God bless YouTube (TM) (R) (C) because of all the overseas concerts we're getting over our TV in this new age where we actually have to stay at home now!  Of course, if you want a documentary made about you, you have to be a somebody.  It's not enough to just be a "me" sometimes, you know... I think that's from the "Tractor Story" Seinfeld episode.
Anyway, if you're a Pete Seeger, or a Peter, Paul or Mary, or a Harry Belafonte, then this Jim Brown's likely done a story about you.  Or if you're a houseboat.  Apparently Mr. Brown directed something called "Fantastic Houseboats."  Well, you gotta keep things fresh.  Did Pete Seeger have a houseboat?
