...you’re viewing the situation from the wintry wonderland of Minnesota, you might consider Matt Birk ’98 “the one who never really left.” He might have taken a four-year hiatus from the North Star State for a college degree and a few football games in Harvard Stadium, but Birk joined the National Football League’s (NFL) Minnesota Vikings straight out of college and hasn’t gone anywhere since...
Artist Marcel Dzama must have sensed this strange blend of sweetness and murk, as his drawings for the album’s cover and liner could be viewed alternatively as a morose grown-up’s take on Alice and Wonderland or a child’s fantastic documentation of life under dictatorship.

Deep Throat is available (though not through amazon.com) on DVD, and Alice in Wonderland on VHS, but most of the others I've mentioned required a video-store or mail-order scavenger hunt to track down. Some, like It Happened in Hollywood and Damiano's The Story of Joanna, I couldn't find even at my refuge for all things weird and esoteric, Kim's Music and Video in the East Village. Even the major research website makes it difficult to find 70s-porno data...
