I tried to convince my 13yo daughter to write about Allen Ginsburg for her “An Influential 20th Century Figure I Admire” essay, but she pointed out her crew cut drill sergeant of an instructor might not think it as amusing as she and I did.
Ah, nuts. She’s right, of course, but dang, that would have been fun.
I’m assuming that Madalyn Murray O’Hair is right out, too?
What about Lucy Barnes?
