Tree Spiker: From Earth First! to Lowbagging: My Struggles In Radical Environmental Action by Mike Roselle with Josh Mahan.

Mike and Josh were in town last night and I got a copy of this new book with stories of Mike's years of environmental activism. Looking forward to reading it and seeing how Mike remembers some of the same events and actions that I was involved in.

Bob Weir wrote a blurb that is on the back of the book. "Are you itching to have a little fun, maybe get on some people's nerves, help save the planet, and have some stories for your grandkids (if you live)? Want to get fired up about saving the palnet? Get this Book!"

It is just in hardcover now from St. Martin's Press but there will be a paperback version out.

If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.

Truly one of the most twisted authors to ever uncork a bottle of ether. Too much of everything was just enough for this man and most deadheads shared a thing or two in common with him --
It never got weird enough. And, as we know, when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro..

When the Great Scorer comes to write against our names in the Big Book we can calmly accept our fate and know that when it was our time we stomped on the terra, but with style!

RIP Hunter, dead tunes for you.

I just started re-reading this today. I'm thinking I'm going to try to read Ulysses, and I figure before I start that, I'll ease into a Joycean state of mind by starting with Portrait of the Artist. Anybody out there actually read (and finished) Ulysses? Am I setting too high a goal?

i've read ulysses several times. if you want to be academic, i advise you to get a good guide book to help you. you can do that, or just trust yourself that it all makes sense in that weird joycean stream of consciousness way...

then, of course, it you watch rodney dangerfield in back to school you can hear part of the last chapter in the breathy tones that so stirred him! gotta love that part (and the triple lindy... )

good luck!
