The other night, way too late, after quite a few adult beverages, RAJ was telling me a story about the Oregon Country Fair. At one point, he said:
“If you can’t trust the Kesey crowd, Jolin, who can you trust?”
Who indeed.
Does that need to be interpreted?
I guess since some of you might not have the Lane County understanding of what the Kesey crowd might be experts in aside from yogurt.
What he meant was that sometimes people are experts and anyone would acknowledge that. For instance, if Tony Dungy told me something about football I would believe him. Most anyone would. If Warren Buffet gave me advice about money, I’d listen closely.
In this case, he asked for a Kesey crowd recommendation and then didn’t follow it. With hilarious and predictable results. If you can use the word predictable about the kind of stuff the Kesey crowd would be giving advice about at the Oregon Country Fair.
If you are at the OCF, or on a bus with a fridge full of acid-laced Kool-Aid and someone from the Kesey crowd gives you advice?
Take it.
Things will go better for you.
