Now’s your chance!
To see Country Joe McDonald. And Save The Oaks! Those are 2 things on my To-Do list right there. Right between "Bataan Death March" and "Root for USC with all my little heart."
Thankfully, it looks like I can cross a few of those off my list this weekend at a Save The Oaks Benefit Concert (especially if I forced march myself to the Concert).
I wonder if Country Joe McDonald’s Tribute to Woody Guthrie is better than mine. I also wonder who the Tedford Woody Guthrie is?!?!? Either way, against the laws of reason, practicality, and just plain common sense, the Save The Oaks people are not giving up. They are regrouping, working to raise more funds, and ironing their most fancy CalHell T-Shirts and tie-dye parachute pants. You would think after having pretty much every and any argument de-bunked and seeing their leader get arrested for physically threatening cops, they might just wander off. But no. That means we can’t just relax and think this Stadium Upgrade is a done deal. Unreasonably passionate people oppose it.
Those are the worst kind!
Oddly enough, they have the $50 tickets, but then also a $20 ticket for "low income" people. Methinks those $20 seats might be going quite a bit faster than the Save The Oaks people would want. Tough to get donations for your cause when "SF Chronicle Fact Checker" (can you think of any other explanation??) is the best-paying job any of these ever so delightful protestors could land.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ll be seeing some hot Country Joe McDonald action this Friday. Or not. I might have a Bataan Death March to attend. Either way, Go Bears!
