I didn't recognize the name but being the curious sort I googled him. Regardless of whatever else he might have done in his life I think organizing a mass demonstration in which over 50,000 people attempted to use psychic energy to levitate the Pentagon until it turned orange and began to vibrate makes him one of my new heroes.

Yes. Steal This Book was required reading by my fellow troublemakers in junior high. However, I do not expect most here to have a clue as to who he is. Think anarchist.

I only know the name because I asked someone (someone far smarter than me) while watching Forrest Gump, "Who is that guy supposed to be?".

Yep. I spent the first two years of college hanging out with stoners and hippies.

If it makes you feel any better, I didn't know who he was even after reading your post. I assumed it was Dustin's sister...

You should have started off with Steal this thread.

So what's the bet? How many in a random collection of young adult geeks knew the name?

I remember watching that same interview.

I amost would have gone for growing dreads, after Abbie explain how he got his, but my mom kept sending me to Saks to have my Pixie hair cut.

No. I did not.

Nor did I read any of the responses to find out who she is.
