Anybody but me puke when you saw all the ads last Sunday for “Earth Day” related products? When did it become another go out and buy shit holiday?

OK, mostly I’m a little bit cranky about it. On April 22, 1970, I was lead singer for a Boulder Colorado band called Mary Jane Bann’d. We did a 90 minute (or thereabouts) show for about 85 gazillion people on the very FIRST Earth day. I didn’t see ONE FREAKIN’ COMMERCIAL, or one single add that was printed in puke green. Last Sunday, there must have been a thousand of them.

What the hell’s next? Gun sales on Martin Luther King day?

Quack!
