Anyway, here it is for free. Won't even cost a pickle.

He endorsed Ron Paul in 2008. Maybe pot smoking does rot your brain...

Dylan.

Sorry, slow processing brain chip, circa 1955.

Dad was right.

"heir apparent" thing. Dylan is a major talent, while "Alice's Restaurant" is an excruciating exercise in tedium and "City of New Orleans" was written by someone else. What else does Arlo really have?

It comes on every year

I have known MANY hippie capitalists

full of entrepreneurs.

Next to prostitution

Same with the Whole Foods guy

The shaving mug is mine, which I re-named as The Knight Templar.

(from Wiki, “Burt’s Bees”)

Originating in Maine in the 1980s, the business began when co-founder Roxanne Quimby started making candles from Burt Shavitz's leftover beeswax.[14] Their attention to quality brought success and eventually led to the bottling and selling of honey, a practice that slowly diminished as the company evolved as a corporation.[citation needed] Eventually, other products using honey and beeswax, including edible spreads and furniture polish, were sold, before moving into the personal care line. She also created the famous image of Shavitz that still graces many of the company's products.

In late 2007, Clorox purchased Burt's Bees. In late 2007, the Clorox Company acquired Burt's Bees for the reported sum of $925,000,000

1993: Quimby bought out Shavitz's shares in the company. Increasing demand and product offerings necessitated a move from Maine headquarters to North Carolina where other personal care product manufacturers were also situated. Burt's Bees changed its focus to exclusively personal care products

[font size=5]Burt’s Bees Co-Founder Burt Shavitz on the Doc ‘Burt’s Buzz,’ and Losing Millions [/font]

Burt Shavitz, the eccentric co-founder of the personal-care-products company Burt’s Bees, is given the documentary treatment in ‘Burt’s Buzz.’ Director Jody Shapiro and Shavitz sat down with Marlow Stern at TIFF to discuss Burt’s journey, and how he was screwed out of the company fortune.

.... Burt was born in Great Neck, New York. Since following in his father’s footsteps as a factory worker was of no interest to him, Burt took to photography, snapping pictures of “bums on the Bowery,” as he puts it. He was eventually hired as a staff photographer for a Jewish weekly and then, after they purchased some of his photographs, acquired a press pass for Time. He got work as a freelancer for publications like The New York Times and Life, photographing anti-war rallies, pollution, and popular figures of the period like Malcolm X, John F. Kennedy, and Allen Ginsberg. But when the television started to become popular, Burt realized that there was no longer much of a market for his photos. ....

One day in 1984, he was cruising around in his van when he came across a woman hitchhiking on the side of the road in Dexter, Maine. The lady was Roxanne Quimby, a down-on-her-luck waitress and single mother, and before long, the two were both lovers and business partners. With Burt’s resources and Quimby’s business acumen, their makeshift enterprise started to grow. Quimby crafted decorative jars for the honey—bearing a logo of Burt’s grizzled face—and, at Burt’s behest, used beeswax he’d been collecting over the years to produce wax candles. Before long, they began making shoe polish and, the big moneymaker: lip balm. They introduced the lip balm, a combination of beeswax and sweet almond oil, in 1991. When they became incorporated that year, Quimby owned two thirds of the company, while Burt owned one third. ....

According to the film—and Burt—he began an affair with a college-age girl who worked at one of the retail stores. When Quimby found out, she was irate.
“She accused me of sexual harassment and went completely berserk,” he says. “She consulted a lawyer and put the paper on a desk and said, ‘There! Take it or leave it!” I had no one to turn to for guidance, so I signed it. I went one way and she went another."

While exact figures of the settlement aren’t available, a report in The New York Times claims that in 1999, when the two parted ways, Burt received a home and about 50 acres of property worth an estimated $130,000 for his one-third share in Burt’s Bees. ....
