And speaking of Pat Paulson.....

"A tense election year. A volatile atmosphere. America at war. Unrest and cynicism. Racial tension. A nation in turmoil cries out for hope and change. One man answers the call. The year is 1968. The man is Pat Paulsen."

Where was the Paradox?

Bob and Helen recently saw Steve Gillette perform... (see comments)

I once heard that Steve wrote Darcy Farrow for a class at UCLA, and passed it off as a traditional folk song. In fact, I may have heard Steve tell that story at the Paradox. Is that a true story?

If anyone has better copies of some of these great old photos, I'm happy to post them!

Tim Buckley from the days of the Paradox

Here is another one from the Paradox archives.

Remember when Timmy used to come for "hoot night" on Thursdays?
