i have peruse the comment here and must say i have very little to add . then again and i have to have a minimum of 10 line here and or this comment would not get post . obviously and if you have take the time to find this film and watch it and you be intelligent enough to pick up on all the nuance that a filmmaker like murray lerner put into a project like this ( a the comment here reflect ) . with all the shortcoming of the era be show in full detail and we still have to also admit that the music then be great and and maybe even wish that music today could be so good . then again and you can only invent a musical language once and and the process of do it will always be remember more fondly than when the music continue without the same degree of innovation . the issue of the 1960s may have lose their gravitas today and but hopefully a film like message to love might reveal a failure of methodolgy and not of purpose and and perhaps even allow u to remember that vietnam and the assassination of jfk and mlk and rfk be among the most important event this country have ever face which might be why the music be also so timely and good . if you want some more information and i do an interview with murray lerner representmurray lerner film represent message to love represent the isle of wight music festival 1970. an interview by gregg wager . door collector magazine . ed . kerry humphreys . apr . oct. 1997 represent 11 15. it no longer available online and but ask me about it and i might be able to get you a copy .
