Michael Martin Murphy....I have not heard that name spoken in a long time....a little Wild Fire, some Thunder and Lightening... When I worked at Philmont back in the 80's I liked him as well. In fact he came to Philmont two of the years I was there and gave a concert in the mess hall to the staff. It was way cool. Haven't listened to him in ages. Don't even think I have the tapes any longer. -Scott

Well, E said to me in a private post I should have exploded in private and perhaps that's so. But you know, people from that time joke with each other about that topic but don't want to hear it from someone else. There is no shared experience and it comes out as a slur. I gave a cross example of such a situation to someone in private but it cannot be repeated here. Everyone has their petty annoyances; one of mine is that I don't care to have people, even in a joking fashion, refer to me as a drunk or a drug user unless I know that the same remark could be applied to them. Hey, I would not label you simply because you are the result of a litter of cats, for example.
