Bernard Shaw appeared in Robert Wiener’s book Live from Baghdad. He appeared as a character in the 2002 HBO film of the same name where he was portrayed by Robert Wisdom.
The book, as well as the film, features Shaw’s subsequent trips to Iraq around the events of 1991 Gulf War including his interview of then Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his epic live coverage of the Baghdad air strike on 17 January 1991 with his CNN colleagues John Holliman and Peter Arnett, from where the name of Wiener’s work was taken.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races.... The economics of this musical esperanto is staggering. Rock and pop breed concentric worlds of fashion, setting and life-style. Popular music has brought with it sociologies of private and public manner, of group solidarity. The politics of Eden come loud.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
“As the end of the century approaches, all our culture is like the culture of flies at the beginning of winter. Having lost their agility, dreamy and demented, they turn slowly about the window in the first icy mists of morning. They give themselves a last wash and brush-up, their ocellated eyes roll, and they fall down the curtains.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
