DEFEAT FASCISM

 Read Rebuke Resist

Perspectives change. Once I thought the “Easy Rider” guys were cool. Now I have seen neighborhoods, even cities, destroyed by the actions of drug dealers like those two. How many died while they rode across America pissing people off.  (The music is still great, though.)

 I thought the characters in “The Big Chill” were cool as well. Now I see that they were the self-absorbed assholes that would go on to ruin America. (The music is still great, though.)

The hero of “The Graduate?” Now I watch the final scene and say to myself, “She just ran off with the sorriest son of a bitch in Southern California.”

Now it’s “Animal House.” (The music is still great, though.)

Many, if not most, college graduates of the 60s saw that film and said, “That was us.” I've even heard high-class attorneys say so. What a group of colorful characters doing wild things.

Yep. They were funny as hell.

Now I realize that we just elected them to run our state and national governments.

Maybe it's not enough just to have good music.
