I am trying to do two things: dare to be a radical and not a fool, which is a matter of no small difficulty.
The puppet characters were combinations of people I had known and to some degree aspects of my own personality. Weird was based on someone I knew in Chicago. Dirty Dragon was based on a good friend I had in Indianapolis.
I am in earnest - I will not equivocate - I will not excuse - I will not retreat a single inch - and I will be heard!
