Talk:Jerry Rubin

message: Many Brits - myself included - first heard of Jerry Rubin when they saw him and a group of supporters 'take over' David Frost's ITV chat-show, some time in the early 1970's, if I remember right.  I recall the taking-over amounted to lots of people occupying the interview area, though I think Frost rather relished the spectacle.  The other main guest was the physical anthropologist Robert Ardrey who drew a rather snooty analogy between the behaviour of his fellow guests and that of young chimpanzees! I see there's a rambling but quite detailed account of the events at http://www.arsydd.btinternet.co.uk/frostbenn.html Bhasi23 18:03, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I second that this (rather old) post is recalling a notorious incident in the UK, covered by all the UK papers. Some discussion of it is here.Pincrete (talk) 15:29, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Well very good this sounds possibly reasonably notable, but of course we'd need refs, are there any? Herostratus (talk) 16:02, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: David Frost

message: I think something needs to be stated about how he died in the 1980s or at least his beliefs did. A sad thing indeed, someone selling out their beliefs for money.
His date of death is given as November 28th, 1994 at the start of the article. Under the "DEATH" section the statement is that he died several days after being hit jaywalking on Wilshire Bl. One or the other is incorrect. I am surprised nobody else here has recognized such a glaring discrepancy. T.E. Goodwin 13:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I dunno if it was for money, exactly. He was just kind of weird guy, and even tho he got famous for a while with his antics and stuff, he was never that together mentally -- the antics point to a possible bipolar situation. I think he was just easily suggestible and got turned from one enthusiasm to another. It could have been Guru Maraha Ji (as happened to David Dellinger) or some other cult. Some capitalists got his ear first tho. Herostratus (talk) 01:07, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

message: The bio of Rubin should include a reference to this.  Perhaps even an excerpt.  Lasch used Rubin's supermarket sweepstakes-style indulgence of big bucks New-Age healing hustles as something that was symbolic of the self-absorbed and politically fraudulent character of the late 1960's - early 1970's United States counterculture.

thread_title:  Extensive sarcastic reference to Jerry Rubin in Christopher Lasch's 'The Culture of Narcissism.'

message: The chronology is confusing, as the article reads that he took Gil to Israel and then met Che Guevara. 76.175.97.243 (talk) 23:13, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
