NYTimes reports on how Nixon called students protesting the war “Bums” just two days before the May 4, 1970 Kent State massacre. nyti.ms/2Hce6eY

Little did I know some of #Allison's friends founded #DEVO. Members of the band DEVO were present at the May 4, 1970 #KentState massacre. Have a listen to their version of Neil Young's Ohio bit.ly/1pFl8wN ☮️

By the late 70's I scored a rent-controlled Russian Hill apartment in #NorthBeach with a view of the Bay & Alcatraz. Days began with a cafe latte from Yolanda at Caffe Trieste. In 1977 there was a cool new Ohio band playing at the #MabuhayGardens. www.stardumbrecords.com/products/dev...

When I arrived in the #BayArea I wanted to help bring in personal computing and all the cool stuff bubbling up down the peninsula. That spring in 1977 I was stoked to attend the first West Coast Computer Faire - my dream come true.

From a cherished album #Allison and I bought together in the late 60's, We're Only In It for the Money by #FrankZappa and the MOI, I was brainwashed to go to #SanFrancisco as soon as I was free -- and I did just that. Have a listen bit.ly/35O8lhZ ☮️🌺

Crossing the #GGB at 21 years old with my life before me, my college years studying with Dr. #HowardZinn fortified and bolstered me for this continental leap into the unknown. Thanks Howard bit.ly/2IgBR4w ☮️🌺
