4 Responses to Ken Burns at Middlesex Comm. College in Lowell Tomorrow

I already have my ticket and am looking forward to writing a complete report on this site after the event. I am a bit anxious, however. David McCullough had been my favorite author up until the night I heard him speak at the Lowell Auditorium as part of the MCC speaker series. During the Q&A that night, he was asked where history would rate George W Bush as president. McCullough replied that history would place George W Bush in the upper tier of American presidents. Ever since that night, I have not bought a single book or read a single word written by McCullough, nor do I have any interest in doing so. I really like Ken Burns and his work, so I’m hoping that history doesn’t repeat itself tomorrow night.

Seriously Dick? I always pegged you as a rational guy, not a hyper partisian who cuts someone off because of what they think.
BTW, I love Ken Burns and am also going tomorrow. But you don’t have to worry about him spewing right wing venom, he is as liberal as they come.
Dick, you should ask Ken Burns what he thinks of Kyle Keady’s work.
