About Me:
In the late 40's and all through the 50's the Great Lakes region was the industrial hub of the world, as the U.S. built a civilization made of steel, and I was there, in the middle of it.
.
Today it's a ruin -- the "rust bucket" that stretches from Gary, Indiana, to Pittsburgh and Allentown.
.
In the 60's, Berkeley and San Francisco were the ignition points for the cultural revolution that swept the country and culminated in 1968, and I was there.
.
It was Seattle in the 70's, Anchorage, Alaska in the 80's, and the Central Valley of California in the 90's. All were the right places to be at the time.
.
Since the beginning of this disastrous new century, during which we've been led into a trackless wilderness, I was in limbo for a while, but now I've broken out and escaped to the Quimper Peninsula, and guess what? Even though it looks somewhat remote on the map, THIS is where it's happening!
.
Despite being stuck in the twenty-teens, it's been quite a life -- a hell of a ride.
.
Along the way I've married and divorced three times, and picked up three university degrees. But that doesn't mean anything; I just mention it in passing, and maybe to impress the people who are impressed by such things.
.
What does mean something? There are lots of songs in me yet to be played, and I'm not done contributing to the lives of students.
.
I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker (reformed, not lifelong abstinent), but I AM a bad ass -- I read Chris Hedges, Noam Chomsky, Niccolo Machiavelli, and tarot cards.
