"I have finally concluded," writes Gould, "that ours may be the only middle-class family in America to have taken the final revolutionary step toward total liberation. Our children swab their own bathroom! They also swab ours! Indeed, they vacuum the rugs, do the laundry and the grocery shopping, help prepare meals, do all the cleaning up after meals, make their own beds, clean their rooms, dust, sweep and polish surfaces as needed and sew occasional buttons on their father's shirts...

A "Mother Harley" tattoo embellished his hefty forearm, set flatly in front...
Meanwhile, on April 21 it's the talented, together Tower of Power, appearing with Return to Forever drummer Lenny White. You may have to leave your Seder early, before you can find the Afikomen, but it should be worth it. If you hide in the bathroom on the first floor overnight, you won't have to pay to see Robert Palmer, whose suggestive album covers haven't hurt his record sales a bit. If the security guard catches you in the stalls, however, you can mosey over to the Boston Garden to catch the Marshall Tucker Band. They...
