"100 pounds of hipness in a 10 pound bag"???
not exactly hipness. Heard him in ocncert a few months ago. worst concert I have ever attended. he sounded worse than he looked.
He penned a sang my favorite Anti-war song in his lights "Sky Pilot" but his "we got to get out of this Place" was the song for leaving the Nam.
Of course if you never heard the track New York 1963- America 1968 then you never heard his genius.
As far as Che and his popularity, I blame the Bolivia NCO who wasted the bastard instead of putting him on trial.
Che was a failure in everything he tried except dying and then he hit the jackpot.
Was it one of those cheezy, city-funded "50's Days" street celebrations?
