"The camp, nestled in the Appalachian foothills in southeastern Ohio, is now in its
second season — and Kaukonen is loving it all. The camp is open on weekends
from April through October, except when Kaukonen, 58, is touring to promote his
new music,

"I get to play guitar all day and talk about myself," Kaukonen said with a satisfied
smile. "What could be better?"

Some of Kaukonen's oldest friends are instructors, including fellow Airplane
bandmates Jack Casady and Pete Sears. Weekend guest instructors have
included Arlo Guthrie, Bob Weir, Rory Block, Robert Jones and Livingston
Taylor."

Ron Eyerman and Andrew Jamieson's _Music and Social Movements: Traditions in the 20th Century_ (Cambridge University Press, 1998) is a sociological analysis of the role music plays in social movements. Of course, there are a lot of references to Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Leadbelly and other names we know well. But the Famous Folksinger makes several appearances.

First, in discussing how the folk songs of the 1930s made a significant contribution to the popular culture of the time, the authors suggest, "Like many other folk songs that became popular songs, talking blues did not require great singing talent in order to be performed; what it required, instead, was a talent for telling a story colorfully and humorously.... Here again, the Weavers, and perhaps especially Lee Hays, who sometimes talked more than he sang at Weavers' concerts, served to carry the tradition of storytelling songs into the 1960s. Appropriately, it would be Woody Guthrie's son Arlo who would modernize the talking blues tradition in the 1960s with his remarkable _Alice's Restaurant_." (Notes omitted)

In the chapter on the '60s, the authors note that, by 1969, "...political movements had largely parted company with the so-called counterculture that had taken on such prominence. Along with Ochs and Baez, it was Pete Seeger and Tom Paxton -- and, with_Alice's Restaurant_, his immortal tale of draft-dodging and garbage collection, Woody Guthrie's son Arlo -- who tried to keep alive some of the earlier ambitions, but the music industry was moving on: into psychedelic, drug-dominated hard rock music for some, sexually suggested soul music for others, and soothing country rural music for still others."

They further write, "In the late 1960s, Simon and Garfunkel were the most consistently commercially successful folk singers, but there were a few others -- Joan Baez, Janis Ian, Richie Havens, Arlo Guthrie -- who brought into the emerging rock music something of the legacy of the early 1960s."

Although Eyerman and Jamieson believe that many "movement intellectuals" sold out to The Establishment to become performing artists and wreak in the benefits of stardom, they point out, "Music as experienced and performed within social movements is at once subjective and objective, individual and collective in its forms and in its effects. Through its ritualized performance and through the memories it invokes, the music of social movements transcends the boundaries of the self and binds the individual to a collective consciousness. This is what we have identified as the 'truth-bearing' message... of movement music, where individual and collective identity fuse and where past and future are reconnected to the present in a meaningful way."

Suppose if they had done that in the movie, all those dead baseball fellas woulda been wandering around in the corn. Panic strikes and you got zombie hunters out, more like Stephen King. Then Kevin Costner would have to convince everyone they just came to play baseball.

Now my brains tired. It was an interesting minute or two though.

I might go. If i have time i'll work on the telepathic thing as to where
