How you will see the world after Michael Hurley

Michael Hurley was there for the folk scene in early 1960’s New York, was associated with the Holy Modal Rounders, and now lives out in the land of the Goonies.  He played this show in an art gallery run buy a big guy with a ponytail.  We came in a little late and so paid at the end of the show.  Right after we paid, one of the small town weirdos came up to the art gallery owner and started talking about how someone had ruined their system for stealing breakfast from the local diner.  Ponyman was just trying to get us out of there at that point…this is who we had given our money to, some guy that loved to steal breakfast, not to Michael Hurley.  So I bought a couple of his comics and my friend bought a cd…because we have to keep Michael Hurley alive:
