Episode 33. Opening song clip: “Tarzan, my Tarzan” from a Bollywood movie. Longtime
ERB fan Jim Thompson is a guest on Dateline Jasoom. He talks about
his father's love of Burroughs and how that was passed down to him.
We talk about Gordon Scott, who had just died at the time of this
2007 interview. “Gordon Scott has always been my favorite movie
Tarzan,” Jim says. And this: “Burroughs was not just a
diversion, Burroughs was a moral compass.”
