Was anybody else struck by the little girl's comments at the end of the Apollo video?

Reporter: Would you like to go to the moon?
Little Girl: Yes!
Reporter: Do you think you'll be able to go to the moon?
Little Girl: Um...no.
Reporter: Why not?
Little Girl: Because I'm not a boy.

Watch and listen to William Gibson, "a 19-year-old draft dodger", give a tour of Yorkville in Toronto. About 15 years later he would write Neuromancer.

This is great stuff!

Wow. I always pictured Gibson as being just about the opposite of a hippie. Great post.

On a similar note: Hinterland Who's Who (which I'm pretty sure has been posted before).
