JCS Zone's own staff member Gibson DelGiudice had an exclusive interview with Devin McKinney, a published author on pop culture and archivist at Gettysburg College. Last year, he wrote Jesusmania!, a new book about a wildly successful (and illegal) amateur production presented at Gettysburg in spring 1971, which you can purchase by clicking here: goo.gl/YKkYmj
(buy fast; the current edition is a limited print run of 500 copies, signed and numbered by the author).
