on organizing and volunteering
most likely, the only reason i never liked the grateful dead before i met ivan was because of old fogies with internet names like "grateful fred" and the like, who begin every mass email with transitions like "but when i was young..." "however, in my day..." etc. if "delinquency" was more rampant in your day, and coffee houses were more "jammin' places to be," then i simply question where the fuck YOU were in the 1970s when campuses were opened up, finally, and people (REAL people! women! latinos! blacks! first-generation immigrants! second-gen's! veterans! parents! etc!) began to learn the histories of the oppressed, finally, and the COLLEGE CAMPUS became the site of change! if our coffee houses aren't "jammin'" to your standards, i whole-fucking-heartedly apologize and hope you register for classes this fall.
learning is liberation, folks. NOT coffee houses, cultural collectives, and mass emails. please.
