DEC Who is this D. J. Waletzky? 18 2008 D. J. Waletzky is a filmmaker, writer, editor, and some other things, too. Although he has a Grammy nomination, sold out appearances, and once opened for Pete Seeger before 25,000 people in Columbus Circle, he is neither famous nor a real musician. Waletzky's name sometimes winds up in newspaper profiles such as ones in the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Montreal Gazette, the Montreal Mirror, France's L'Humanité or Germany's Berliner Tageszeitung, although it will usually be misspelled. You may recognize him from his many television appearances, from the A&E Biography of Bill Gates to America's Most Wanted to C-SPAN. You may have seen him or some of his work on stage at a downtown New York nightspot such as the Knitting Factory or Tonic. Waletzky is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal, where, in the course of a political science and philosophy degree, he studied Afghanistan in 2000 and Iraq in 2001. Waletzky was the editor-in-chief of McGill's humour magazine, the Red Herring, for three years. A Brooklyn native, he has been to Finland twice. Quotes about D.
