it also stars susan sarandon and john goodman and was directed by barry levinson.hey joined me earlier. barry, why did you want to make a film about dr. kevorkian? >> the character, first and foremost. when i read the draft, i thought the character was interesting, the characterses around it. his core group was very interesting. >> what did you learn about what he had done? >> i think it's more complicated than what i saw because i only saw the snippets of it. in other words, to watch that ten-year period from the time he began until the time he was sent to prison is an amazing journey of a man coming up against the system and ultimately a man that could not be intimidated in that way as a sense as jack has said that he knew eventually he would be imprisoned. >> was prison hard for you? >> no. when you're not a criminal, it's easy. >> you were in solitary confinement for a time. >> just for protection. for about, oh, maybe four or five months, something like that. i got one hour a day free to make phone calls or walk the yard. the other 23 hours i was in a cell. >>

i am going to forget the people, but john goodman, steve zaqhn, -- zahn.are blessed with an incredible cast, and if the show falls down, it will not be their fault. tavis: it seems to me that this is a story that is ripe for cameos. >> that is exactly right. we need to honor the real new orleans, and we have to use professional actors to convey our story, but one of the things that we did with "the wire" that we delighted in is that we used a real police, we'll politicians, wheel st. folk from west baltimore -- we used a real police -- we used real police, real politicians, real street folk. who are you going to cast as the great chef from new orleans than the great chef? tavis: i know you said earlier that this is not a series about crime, light -- like "the wire" was, but we read the paper every day that new orleans has a crime rate that they are not happy about. it celebrates the culture but does not cover rover the ugliness. >> right, we are going to have to -- does not cover over the ugliness. >> right, this is one of the most dysfunctionate cities. i

. >> for almost 13 years, jennifer goodman from new jersey has been practicing music therapy. she is helping kids like johnny who have autism. >> these kids have been here for so long with labels as in their own world. and through this wonderful nonthreatening form, the music, i reach them. >> hello. >> research shows there is a connection between music and memories, rhythm and motor skills, and singing and speech. >> if you look in this, i'll tell you when to start. look at me. >> for kids with autism, eye contact and social interaction are two of the biggest challenges. >> i look at you. and you talk to me. >> but with personal xized songs, helps the kids relate to others. >> if you want to give somebody a hug. >> his taxi,py to cuss, eye contact. >> a former singer and aspiring broadway start, -- star, general says this is her true calling. what is most exciting is when a nonverbal child comes in, and we're interacting and i'm playing the guitar and singing and punching him with the sounds, and i get it back. >> do you like playing the guitar? >> yes. >> are you slooping. >

aig, goodman sacks. it's too big, and the federal government has the unlimited authority to go in and rescue. >> you know what is missing in the debate i think other than the republican critique of the bail-out fund, it's what they think would be better. from the left wing and the democratic party you hear a critique. you are saying if you're too big to fail, you should be too big to exist and banks should be broken up. they have a set of ways they would strengthen the bill, hire capital requirements, whatever that is. what is it exactly that republicans want to do instead of this bill? >> the republicans are for higher capital requirements. that are in the bill. they are -- they there are sensible elements to the bill but not the unlimited authority for the federal government to take over non-bank institutions. >> let me add one -- there is a huge irony pointed out by larry lindsay, the former head of the council of atomic advisors in the bush administration and he did an analysis of treasury and the fe
