Campbell Davis and I recorded a few things today in Pilam’s basement, mainly covers of old folk tunes. Here’s one you might recognize. Hopefully more to follow as the weeks go by. We’re thinking of calling ourselves Clinton’s Zombies.

Teacher's account of a 1967 classroom Millgram-esque experiment
In 9th grade history, our teacher had us watch a 1981 made for TV movie about this. Pretty wild, but as a TV movie, it was low-budget and not too well done.
This account tells the story well. It’s nuts to me that it only took a a few days to whip these kids into a frenzy. Maybe late 60’s California was a lot more naieve than we are today (and school administratiors not so parinoid), but chilling to see what can happen to a group of ordinary folks when you give them a sense of group identity and a dictator to follow …
