I recently saw you do a bit of spoken word at a Rock Collection show at Sweetwaters (super awesome show and I loved your bit in it!) You talked about when you helped run a pig for president in 1968. As a 29 year old, reading about the performance-art-heavy left politics in the late 60s and 70s sounds like great fun, but not like something that would really "work" in today's America. What role do you think art, performance-art, clowning, and just generally being a prankster still has in modern American culture?

can't wait for my daughters to go!

"If you can laugh at a concept your defense go down and you are able to see the possibility of it" beautiful and so true.

quick follow up, you're an alameda county resident yeah? the green party of alameda released their voter guide [pdf] suggesting people boycott all statewide partisan races due to prop 14 meaning there are no third parties (nor the ability to issue a write-in). In some ways, I see it as a desperate act of theatre that the vast majority of Californians will never hear about. In some other ways, it's the only choice that I feel I can morally support when talking to my daughters. What's your take on acts of demonstration/protest that have definite short-term downsides for moral reasons and hypothetical long-term gains?

follow up question, does this mean we can get an office delorean?
