So would I. I really liked Kerry and would not hesitate to vote for hims
again. But I have have to look at one more documentary full of fat bald
men talking about the 60s, I may have to start throwing Molotov
cocktails at PBS. (If I want to look at a fat bald guy with a white
beard who served his country by dodging the draft and living on a Quaker
commune in Canada, I can just look in the goddamn mirror.) Jesus Murphy,
watching that god-awful documentary on Dylan, then the one on Peter Paul
and Mary, then that thing on Bob Marley and other protest singers, then
a documentary on the 60s, all in a span of three days, has thoroughly
killed whatever tiny shred of interest I once had in my sorry
generation. I think we need to die now and make room for the next couple
of generations to mess up the world in their own chosen way.
