Amy we spend the hour remembering the renault did actor, musician, composer and activist Theodore Bikel, who died tuesday at the age of 91. Theodore bikel was known for creating the role of baron von trapp in the sound of music on broadway, cofounding a folk festival with pete seeger and his role as tevye on fiddler on the roof which he played more than 2000 times. It may surprise you to learn that Theodore Bikel, a man so close that in a fight with israel and with jewish life, was also an outspoken critic of israeli policy especially a pending measure which would forcibly relocate some 40,000 bedouin from their ancestral land. When i say the very people who were told to get out in the fictional village of fiddler on the roof, the descendents of those very people are now telling others, strangers in their midst, that they must get out of their homes, seems fundamentally wrong. And a wrong cannot be allowed to stand. Inigo today, Theodore Bikel the musician, actor activist for the hour.
