No magazine or news station or University or political party can limit what he says. Plus, his work doesn’t read like an academic. Even though he has a B.A. in English, it takes him a decade to read any academia. He grew up in New York City, where he attended NYU. He moved to San Francisco like everyone used to do- after they read “On the Road.” He currently resides outside of Sacramento.view less
