Love the stickers. How do I put one on the overpriced (but delicious) pies down the street?

What an excellent and educational piece. I was around 5-6 when this took place so it was fascinating to learn what transpired. Thank you for your writing!

I will take to my grave what I paid for Springsteen tickets for the Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. That being said, he is an artist with a message, spreading it does good work, and I am typically quite frugal. That RFK quote is spot on. As always, your writing is superb, Marcy: "the current attempt to flagwash the pain and suffering of the American people..."

Thanks, Terry. Seeing The Boss is a little bit more like traveling to Mecca than consumerism, per se. Thank you for reading!

So excellent. I hadn’t heard about the Poor People’s Campaign and I love that Kennedy quote. I’ll be getting some stickers.
