Forgot or never knew. I was struggling a lot and didn’t pay attention to news much in those days - local or national.
Go on Amazon (CD/LP) and punch up Kent Bowman. His “Pidgin English Children’s Stories” is one of the funniest things anyplace, anywhere. But all thru the 60/70/80’s he totally ripped on Hawaiian politics. Retired to San Diego and passed on in the 90’s as I recall. I have his other album and it’s necessary to play a bit every now and then. His rips on Hawaiian gummint are as timely now as then-—little ever changes.
