Nice piece of work ... dude. Smokin'.
THOSE were the days.
These ARE the days.
Leave no stone unturned ...
Make no left turn unstoned.
Excellent post.

Savio was at the Forefront of PC speech codes,
as in the Semi Free Speech Movement -
Freedom for the left, no freedom for the military:
After the FSM, he was arrested again in 1966 protesting an armed forces recruiting table on the Berkeley campus and ran for the state Senate on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket.
Meanwhile, Jon Carroll was picking up pointers on how to become a hack journalist for the left.
...and I was shirking my responsibilities in the Bear's Lair, munching on those great char broiled bear burgers. (can't recall actual name)

2. My sister has the following rule:
You can have two stickers on your car, doesn't matter what they say, and you're normal. Anybody can have a kid who's "citizen of the month" or get one slapped on at Luray Caverns.
Three or more, doesn't matter what they say, and you're a nut. Period.
3. As for Savio, I knew him. He was a math guy, and pointed out to me that his phone number was a progression -- 396-4824. Still remember it though he's long dead. Savio had no Gardol invisible shield between his personality and the rest of the world. It drove him crazy.

The left is not kind to those without the Gardol Shield, and I think most of us suffered some damage as a result.
A friend and I went to some young socialist meeting or something on campus just because Les Crane, who was on KGO at the time, gave a speech at the beginning - when it was over, we got up and left, to the derisive comments of the group.
Since reading transcript below, I've often wondered if Dylan didn't write about Mr. Jones after meeting Mr. Crane: Truly a hilarious interchange.
