I've checked all of the recent Ramblin' Jack threads, and, as far as I can tell, there's no mention of this, so I guess this is news.

I had lunch at a shopping mall which has computer screens which give information about upcoming movies. I clicked through page after page of listings of silly summer movies, and then noticed a movie called Ramblin' Jack. I clicked for more information, and sure enough, the movie is a documentary about folksinger Ramblin' Jack Elliot, with appearances by other singers, including Pete Seeger and Odetta.

You heard it here first! And that's all the information I have, unfortunately.

The film won an award at the Sundance Film Festival this year.

A couple of years ago, Jack had a film crew following him around at the Champlain Valley Folk Festival. I assume it was for this film.

On 04/21/2000 I got the following message from Ken Haverly:

"I heard Jack today on a nationally broadcast radio show (The Prairie Home Companion). He sounded great, and said his daughter is just about finished with a filmed biography of him which should be released soon."

I found a good article here and release information here. Looks like Jack is pretty popular on the Net.

There really are two different links in the previous note but they should have looked like this:

Sorry for the typo.
