Notes

Signed "Tumbleweed" — one of the pseudonyms for Bill Fritsch. See Ringolevio, p. 281 ff., for Emmett Grogan’s description of Tumble.

Abstract

Mixing street talk, racial tension, police menace, and countercultural exhortation, this piece pushes toward a new awareness that will spread “like wildfire.” Its argument is less program than impulse: get close to your friends, give things away, listen to those who are already living free, and recognize that the power to act is already in your hands. At once volatile and visionary, the piece channels the unstable atmosphere of 1968 through a rhetoric of love, danger, solidarity, and imminent rupture, ending by shifting agency onto the reader: “YOU ARE THE LEADER.”
