Published by two SF State students, David Harris and Greg Shaw, the "Mojo Navigator" has usually included a rather superficial record review, a long column of hippy gossip (The Grateful Dead are actually in the Green Berets) and a rather amusing interview (i.e., with KYA DJ Tommy Saunders). <br />At present, the editors are attempting to please no one but themselves with the weekly sheet. <br />To gain any recognition or believability as an organ of criticism, the editors would need to acquire some experienced "critics," spend extra time choosing and editing their materials, and, of course, become more serious. But, then, it might not be the publication that they really want. And that, my dear, is the advantage of producing your own scandal sheet. No one runs the office but you."<br />(Michael Chechik, "Gossip, Caen, KPFA - With a Giggle," Daily Cal 10/18/66)Light Into Asheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943335142002007213noreply@blogger.com
