Back when I was a hippie, I read the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and The Pump House Gang. They were o.k. Wolfe has a biting wit.
Hoo-boy!
We should start an ex-hippies anonymous ! LOL!
I read Radical Chic and Mau Mauing the Flack Catchers back in the day. The descriptions in the latter had me doubled over laughing, especially when all the minorities go to the government office to get some of the government money to be spent on “youth programs” in the ghetto that are supposed to prevent race riots. The more intimidating they are to the social worker (the flack catcher), the more “real” they are, and the more money they get, so the goal is “mau mau” them. Hilarious!
