Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for August 21, 2010

I suppose you could say the U. of Bloom County is kind of counter-cultural!

Lest we forget…these were also happy days for the recreational pharmaceutical industry.

At Harvard commencement the business school marched in carrying golden dollar signs. I felt very old.

G. Gordon Liddy is now making a bundle advertising for one of the gold brokers. I have to say, he does a very dramatic pitch. I keep waiting for him to hold his hand over a candle, but so far, no luck.

@ Ray C You are not watching close enough grasshopper… He has dropped the “G” and is now merely “Gordon Liddy”. The universe shakes and the heavens show their wrath. It is somewhat sad when the fearsome foes of yesteryear dwindle so. I remember my shock when I first heard Led Zepplin as Muzak on the elevator.

Personally, I still remember with great fondness the moniker that Al Capp hung upon the 60s revolters, S.W.I.N.E. - “Students Wildly Indignant on Nearly Everything”.

ses1066, at my mother-in-law’s assisted living place, they now play The Monkees, Beach Boys, Drifters, and even Bill Haley and the Comets over the sound system. Strangely, no Elvis, though.

Ack! These young “revolutionaries” grew up to be the GOP and Tea Party!

A quarter-century later their mantra is “Don’t trust anyone under $30,000,000.”

Oohh - the humanity of it all~!

Opus as always however is cool as a cucumber under what ever pressure may come to bear.

ZEN AND THE ART OF PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS.

The RayGun revolution won. As died-in-the-wool capitalists, they sold the country to the highest bidder, who used your tax dollars through corporate welfare & your grandchildren’s tax dollars through deficit financing. Environmental degradation? The world is supposed to go to hεll, so Jesus can come.

Ray C,

And soon droopy tattooed old ladies will be listening to the music from their era.

spammerflaggen!

Thanks for that picture, dahawk.

Teabags and beer don’t sound like a pleasant combination.
