Late last Friday, word began to circulate that social historian and famed lefty Studs Terkel had died at the age of 96; Roger Ebert, Chuck Tryon and filmmaker Steven Bognar are among the many who have offered memories and appreciations. I went on YouTube this morning to find footage of the man, and I stumbled on this clip of Terkel talking about his participation in Haskell Wexler’s Medium Cool. The nine minutes of footage were collected by Paul Cronin, ostensibly for his documentary on the making of Medium CoolLook Out Haskell, It’s Real. Make sure to watch it all the way through to find out what happens when Cronin calls Terkel “The Poet of Chicago.”
