Despite the lackluster performance, there were a few fun moments in the concert, like the catchy intro chants ("Do that shit! Funky shit!") that got the crowd involved. When the group urged the crowd to scream "Let's pack the pipe," Harvard students went along with it, chanting louder and louder. If Dean Lewis was watching, he probably had a nervous breakdown. Just the thought of that was more entertaining than anything the Pharcyde offered...
Kelsey L. Miller, a waiter at the Faculty Club, represented the workers' attitudes fairly well when she said, "I'm demonstrating because our contract comes up in two months and because management treats us like shit."

And why should they? Believing that they are the true Americans, and the immigrants and Jews and blacks and gays, are trespassers, they appear to themselves in the right to reclaim their country. Cloaked in those colors, they certainly appeared legitimate, especially...
Like the man said himself, "This is some good shit!" Bo Diddley's sold out show at Harper's Ferry last Thursday night was definately some good shit. In the one hour set Diddley revealed himself as both an upbeat entertainer and unpretentious guitar picker...
