The Weather Underground 10/3

by Editor

“The Weather Underground” opens Friday, October 3rd for a one week run

at the Times Cinema, 5906 W. Vliet St., Milwaukee. Showtimes are 7:00 and

9:00 nightly; 3:30, 7 & 9:00 Saturday and Sunday.

The most radical of all the groups formed in protest of the war in Vietnam, Weather Man was also media-savvy, and its spokespeople–who were almost without exception young and photogenic–were always in search of the perfect media moment. It’s hard to believe that these college students were anything more than poster children for the Resistance, yet many in their ranks were deadly in their idealistic fervor.

Best Push Cart Race Ever

Spectators were treated to some delightful impromptu street theatre when the Swami Dolla’ Bill belly dancers stopped their flying carpet in the midst of the race to shimmy to exotic music. This entranced their fellow “Alien” racers, who swooned and lay down in the street in submission. The crowd roared and cheered when the “Aliens” recovered from their trance (as the carpet began to take off), jumped back onto their cart, and dashed pell mell to the start line to win the race.
