I think this post has been in my drafts folder for about three years, occasionally being reworked, and finally – FINALLY – I've finished it. Joni Mitchell, Jello Biafra, and Peter Thiel all feature. Warning - it's REALLY LONG.

Zen fascists will control you...

In 1979, a punk band from San Francisco recorded a song about the Governor of California. It was a joke, mostly. Jerry Brown was a Democrat, a Buddhist, a man who dated Linda Ronstadt and discussed limits and simplicity at a moment when America was in no mood for either.

Fantastic read. Definitely a book in the making.

Rolf Gardiner (father of the singer punching Conductor) was the perfect embodiment of that blood and soil type.

I made a short film about his part in the organic movement, and, in so doing, ran into his nazi health & efficiency past.

He ticks all your boxes.
