...Walker started playing at bars and nightclubs in Austin, Texas, country music was a lot different from what it is now. Back then, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings were still putting grease in their hair and blending into the multitude of singers in Nashville, Rusty Weir was grinding out acid rock, and David Allen Coe was in prison. Nobody, least of all Jerry Jeff, would have guessed that he was starting a musical movement of sorts, still less that all those people would be drawn into...
...Abmaphid. The abundance of humor provides constant comic relief. It has an enormously supple range, by turns sophisticated, acid, intellectual, putdown, cynical, broad, black and even sick. The two leads are superb. Dewhurst does not need to bray "I am the Earth Mother." We know it on sight. We sense that a Samson might have won her respect but never an "Abmaphid ... A.B. ... M.A. ...

In short, it is the "elite liberal" formula that in another guise--acid, amnesty, abortion--led McGovern down the road to disaster...
...political essays are less written than engraved with acid. He has railed constantly-and rather inconsistently-at an American electorate too stupid to choose proper leaders and at a capitalistic oligarchy that systematically cheats the common yeomanry. A litany developed: all people are innately bisexual (though not all choose to act it); the police persecute people for private preference and turn a blind eye to fat-cat criminality; the end is near...
