This tape features raw footage for the award-winning TV series The 90’s. It features an interview with author and University of Southern California professor Ian Mitroff. Mitroff discusses television and its effect on politics and public discourse, saying, “TV has become a self-sealing universe… a culture. There’s too much garbage on TV but you can’t turn it off… how do you turn off a culture?” and “The kids have gotten the message in this society which is… ‘Say yes to consumption in endless amounts.’ That’s the real message, and that’s what TV is really about in this country. It’s tied to consumerism, not even entertainment… it’s all consumerism.” Commenting on the television news’ reliance on political sound bites: “If [Abraham Lincoln] were around today he would be reduced to ‘Read my lips: no more slavery.'”

Studs Terkel walks the streets of Hamburg, Germany, and reminisces about his time there in 1968. “Hamburg, in a way, represents the world… It’s almost a cosmopolitan city, it’s a port city.” When asked how he feels after living for 90 years, Terkel responds, “I want my epitaph to be ‘Curiosity did not kill this cat!'” He also talks about his new book, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken?.” When asked if the book has a somewhat morbid topic (death), Terkel responds that death is the only experience that we all will share that we know nothing about, and that it emphasizes the importance of living. “To me, you’re remembered not for dying, but for living.” He talks about his method of collecting oral histories and his love for his subjects. “Celebrities bore me. But the people you ask about their lives come alive!” He talks about the people he interviewed for his recent book and says that when he dies he wants to be cremated and have his ashes scattered at Bughouse Square in Chicago.
