They brought the reminder to me as well, which is part of the reason I posted it. Only we seemed to have more zest and fun--albeit, more angst. (Now it's not angst, it's AIDS.) The exploding sofa simply had to be shared. A friend told me recently that his ex-wife, who is living in Colorado, announced that she had changed her name from the perfectly enjoyable and simple Jane to Terran. She had realized that the old Jane was dead. (Suppressing hysterical giggles! Don't so many of the New Agers sound like wish-they-had-been-hippies?) Dear God, I wasn't that goofy at 18 in 1970 when I thought that the Fillmore East was the center of artistic expression on the East Coast! When I thought that a protest march was a life commitment rather than a political statement. Although in those times it sometimes turned out to be be more than a statement; one could get killed. Which was absurd. But so was finding depth in Marcuse absurd. We were intellectually and emotionally rattling around among extreme absurdities. We were, all of us, including the Young Conservatives (oh, remember them?), trying to find something that was not absurd.
