...philosophical fame, like other kinds, proved fleeting. When the swords were sheathed and the flowers withered in the 1970s, Marcuse's reputation faded just as fast as it had bloomed. When he died at 81 last week following a stroke in West Germany, he had virtually no influence among students and his once much discussed books-Eros and Civilization, One-Dimensional Man-were little read.

An on-duty policewoman happened to be in the audience, and Rexy was subsequently arrested for indecent exposure and the club fined for not having an entertainment license. Though booked elsewhere, Fast Freddy and the Playboys are still waiting in the wings at the Pit Stop, and nearly 100 loyal patrons have staged a protest rally.
