Description

A student film by Bruce Benton and Michael Johnson, produced at Art Center College of Design. A fast-moving, hard-hitting comment on our times, combining the Rolling Stones recording with a powerful collage of socio-political newsreel clips depicting world events during the Nixon administration, in which ludicrous shots of Nixon waving gaily to the crowds, accepting local awards and testing water, are juxtaposed with shots of starving Biafran children, riots, police brutality, and Vietnam, while the Stones sing "Pleased to meet you...hope you'll guess my name...but what's confusing you is the nature of my game."
