Blog Reactions continue
I have been getting reactions to the blog from all over the place. There is discussion at http://countdante.com about the Green Dragon Society member’s claim to have dislocated both Count Dante’s arms. Until I present all the evidence from both sides I have no opinion on any of this. I still have Mike Felkoff to […]
Focusing on the Legend:: CutThroat Ring Report:: Fearless Radio
The Chicago Reader article’s effects continue. Mike Davis, of Cut Throat Ring Report, a weekly program on Internet radio, Fearless Radio, contacted me. Mike has a very interesting full time job in law enforcement but does this program as a sideline with a pal of his from Indiana. They are absolutely fascinated with the urban […]
Castro…how many years is this?
Fighting. Even at 6 and 7 years old my world was filled with fighting, watching it, hearing about it discussing it and doing it and usually losing. I remember the first days Castro came to power. We watched CBS news back then. It was Walter Cronkite usually I think…not sure. But to see Castro riding […]
From the internet…reactions to my blog.
I am ALWAYS open to new information. Someone by the name of John emailed me the following message: “A correction/clarification to the part of the article that mentions Bill Aguiar.

Post Reader Article
Publicity is always double edged. You never know what kind of reactions you will get or how the information will be interpreted. Am I immortalizing Keehan? Looks like that is already taken care of. I keep reminding people my film is about a very flawed character. Did I like the guy? Of course I did. […]
On seeking truth…
Truth? Is there anything I can say is the truth about this project? Am I looking for a particular truth? Is it already formed in my mind, prefabricated for a predictable outcome. I ask myself this. I make no excuses for the flaws of John Keehan. I want to let the story tell itself. In […]
Another day another discovery…
I finally got a reply from the FBI regarding John Keehan’s FBI record. I send them a copy of the birth certificate, which is in the name of Juan Raphael Dante and then, penciled in at an askewed angle, “Keehan.” I thought I hadexplained myself properly, that Dante was not his real name and asked […]
