He was the first in America to do film reviews on the News, winning 3 more consecutive Emmys as KNBC’s ‘Critic-At-Large.’ And ten years as Los Angeles Magazine’s most widely read and quoted controversial critic.

Comedian-activist Dick Gregory did the liner notes for his first album, ‘It’s Tough To Be White,’ and Play-write Neil Simon did them for his second album, ‘I Met A Man I Didn’t Like!’ In addition, he was also Frank Sinatra’s private writer for four years. In 1992 he wrote and Directed the award-winning ‘The Garrison Tapes,’ which Director Oliver Stone heralded as ‘The perfect companion piece to my movie ‘JFK.’ 25 years later, in 2017 he wrote and Directed Part 2 called: ‘The American Media and The 2nd assassination Of President John F. Kennedy,’ which leading researchers applaud as ‘The definitive film on JFK and the rise of Fake News’. Which plagues America to this day. John said, ‘I am not a conspiracy theorist.
