Nothing good on C-SPAN?? "Travel Writer Rick Steves on His 1978 Travels Along the Hippie Trail" tonight 10PM CST

Caught the 7:00 airing. Also on at 4:50 AM CST for those who want to record it. The show is Q&A with host Brian Lamb. The book under discussion is Steves' On the Hippie Trail.

Asides re. current politics are few and subtle, but it's all interesting in one way or another. Apparently, marijuana was readily available at the time, and is discussed. (Steves is a longtime member of the Board of Directors of NORML, and was Chair for three years.)
