      There’s a pretty good book called “Playing With Fire” about the politics of the late 60s and the events of the time. I had to stop reading it, it’s too sad. Bobby Kennedy talking to the crowd after MLK was shot, not knowing that he was going to be dead the same way a short time later, just fucked me up, I put it down.
