Episode 143 -- Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Straightjacket with Dan Valenti! (part two)

Woodstock 56 is almost upon us, and as we get ready to once again celebrate the glory of Woodstock, it’s time for another episode of KEEP THE DREAM FLOWING! This time, we have an unusual twist as we welcome back out returning champion DAN VALENTI! Dan – brother of MICK VALENTI, leader of the Woodstock Free Stage band THE QUARRY – has written a new book, STANLEY KUBRICK’S FULL METAL STRAIGHTJACKET – THE SIEGE OF GUNNERY SGT. HARTMAN. In this fascinating and riveting new book Dan unravels the story behind the role of Gunnery Sgt. Hartman, of Kubrick’s 1987 uber-classic FULL METAL JACKET, and spins a story of intrigue and the role that luck – or a lack of luck – played in the casting of the character. A fascinating conversation, of which this is part two of two!
