Pot Stories for the Soul af Paul Krassner
Vaguely amusing pastiche of the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" drivel. Very uneven - some of the tales were screamingly funny, others wincingly bad. Dated too - written long before any state had legalized recreational pot. Worth a run through for the history, I suppose, and stories from some of the better known names of the period (Robert Anton Wilson, Hunter Thompson, Mark Mothersbaugh, Wavy Gravy, etc...)

I'm not saying satire is dead, but after five years of the USA's current political climate, this certainly doesn't have nearly as much impact as it once would've. Ah well, c'est la vie.
Weirdo libertine political rag from the 60s-70s, kind of brilliant, kind of annoying, kind of like Jello Biafra's spoken word. Features interviews, columns, and cartoons from a golden era of writers/comics: Mort Sahl, Woody Allen, Dick Gregory, Kurt Vonnegut, Joseph Heller, Shel Silverstein, Lenny Bruce, etc., all of which are amazing, but the editorial tone is so mean spirited compared to MAD magazine, National Lampoon, whatever else. Sometimes I just wished this was funnier. "Parts Left Out of the Kennedy Book" is great and Richard Pryor contributes.… (mere)
