Harlan Ellison released 2 volumes of Dangerous visions, but Last Dangerous Visions clearly comes from J. Michael Stracyznski and not the late sci-fi legend.
The 60s weren't the beginning, they were thr beginning of the open warfare phase of the revolution. The beginning goes back at least to the Wilson presidency era.
I don't think I could ever complete someone else's work. It wouldn't be true to the original vision, thus becoming a betrayal to fans. Some people can, though, apparently.
The Last Dangerous Visions has an interesting history. If I'm remembering correctly, the only reason it wasn't published back in the 70s was because Harlan had a bad case of writer's block and couldn't finish his story.
Also, IIRC, a number of the authors withdrew their stories because they no longer thought it represented their current work.
I'll take your word for it. There's nothing dangerous about these establishment shills.
...regrettably, Forbidden Thoughts is out of print. Could we bring it back as P.O.D.? I'd like to get a copy! :)
Heh, Update: Found a used one on Ebay. Better move quick if you wanna get yours! :D
I did the same thing when you mentioned this

I still remember when JMS blocked you for promoting his Ellison anthology. Really says it all.
This project sounds like the safest thing in the world, talk about boring.
