Bill Moyers Journal #1312. It’s Bill Moyers. It’s his 1,312th journal (not really, but I’m not going to explain to you the way in which TV shows are numbered at this point in time, maybe later if you’re nice). He’s a good journalist so I assume this will be good journalism (at least the odds are it will).

Inside – "Rolling Stones in Rio.” At the Copa, Copacabana, Copacabana Beach. Okay, that's not quite the way the song goes, and the song wasn't sung by the Stones, but it is where they're playing this concert… in front of somewhere around 1.5 million people. Let's see, what's the average price of a Stones' ticket? $150? So that's 1.5 million people at $150 a head, that's… more money than I'll ever see.

Austin City Limits - "Paolo Nutini/Grupo Fantasma." The U.K. sensation and Austin's own Grupo Fantasma do their thing. Their "thing" is playing music. One plays soulful pop, the other high-energy Latin funk. I don't want to spoil it and tell you who does what.
Let me ask you this – why can't the ship, the relatively small ship, move? Create a single room with a screen, throw it onto a track and have it go in a big oval. The characters that need to jump on and off (and they're won't be that many) then don't end up too far out of position for the next ship they need to get on. If the track is actually set up correctly with appropriate twists and turns, the characters can end up in exactly the right spot. Plus, forget faking the sensation of movement, there'll actually be movement. Okay engineers, why won't that work?
