  • Great article, what a historic time for SF. I used to love The Dead Kennedys. They were such a great band and I used to love visiting SF in the 90s but I doubt it’s anything like what it was back then. I had a good friend who’s parents were part of the Jim Jones Church that decided to not go to Guyana. It’s interesting how much what Jim Jones would say sounds just like Trump. I don’t know much about Feinstein but it almost seems like she ran as a Dem purely to get elected, maybe? Jello has always been pretty hilarious watching him run for mayor is almost as funny as his Nardware interviews.



  • Who knows about the source but I was looking to see any indication of where this was. I actually got a chance to see a baseball game at the Tokyo Dome or maybe it was a sumo event - it was so long ago. From my own experience and shallow understanding of the culture it’s probably true. One of the huge motivations is the fear of bringing shame to your family which can be good and bad…it’s just such a different culture and an outsider like me really can’t fully appreciate or really understand because even if you spend your life there you will probably always be considered a bit of an outsider. And the Tom Selleck movie Mr. Baseball is actually pretty good.
