Many of you remember reading or hearing some of my thousands of national interviews, reviews, commentaries and news reports on AOL, CompuServe, Yahoo!, broadcast.com, United Broadcasting Network and numerous other major internet and radio networks going back to the early 1980's
HOW AMERICA DESTROYED ITSELF IN A MERE 50 YEARS
I AM PROUD TO BE THE STAR OF THE #1 MOST REQUESTED "TROLL DOLL" VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!
Those of you who go back to the very start of the Internet, know that I created
"showbiz going online" for the two companies that started it all--AOL and CompuServe. My company produced the only showbiz news, features, interactive forums, games, celebrity interviews, etc. that were available online. CompuServe from 1982-2000. AOL from 1985-1994. You also know that I produced and hosted the Internet's first-ever major daily live audio talk show from Los Angeles 1997-2000, "Stein Online."
After AOL purchased CompuServe and merged into Time-Warner, there was a shakeup.

KURT VONNEGUT
listen to Eliot's interview with the world famous legendary writer!
When interactive blogs came along 5 years ago and people were so excited, I just yawned. I created the world's first Internet blog, "Showbiz Forum" on CompuServe. Once the ONLY place online you could go to talk about movies, television and celebrities. Roger Ebert became another host of this groundbreaking Compuserve forum in later years.
.
Having acquired a great deal of knowledge and wisdom over the years, I decided that I wanted to teach, so I could share that with young people. That is what I have been doing in this decade.
I can not only tell students about the civil rights battle in the early 1960's, I play them a 2-hour tape of me interviewing James Meredith, the black man who was denied admission to the University of Mississippi. As they wonder about the JFK assassination, I play them interviews I did with the key eyewitnesses. (including the woman in red on the Zapruder film) I just don't have them read "Slaughterhouse 5," I let them listen to a tape of my interviewing Kurt Vonnegut. It's worked out very well.
