I mentioned to SA that I was reading a 1975 interview of Bob in Oui magazine.
I've uploaded a large [1.6 Meg] scanned PDF copy and linked it under the 1975
entry in my timeline.

Many thanks, a very good read. Was struck by some now-apparent naiveity when
Pirsig says "The anger of these antagonists has now run its course, and people
are looking for constructive solutions rather than for destructive solutions".
While it certainly captures the hopefulness of the seventies, it shows how far
we have descended to the mire of modern day destructive rhetoric. "New
attitudes of human cohesiveness that will get stronger and stronger" almost
sounds utopic, doesn't it?

Or, sadly, "the kids of today have seen that accumulation of material things
isn't any good anymore; that this value has lost its quality and that people
have got to look somewhere else for motivation" is not only antithetical to
modern America, but borderline heretical! But it does make me lament a bit, and
pine for the optimism and wisdom of the seventies.

Here's hoping, anyway, that future days are "sunny" for us all.
