IW: Donella Meadows was a hero of mine. She was brilliant, and very human. She was taken from us way too soon. The Leverage Points: Places to Intervene in a System essay that this article talks about is a breath-taking introduction to systems thinking.

IW: . . . . Harry’s second most famous song is “Taxi”. It contained the painful audience participation that adorns the other t-shirt in Sandy’ shop. The phrase ends an encounter between Harry the taxi-driver and a now-married ex-girlfriend, neither of whom seem happy with their life choices: Read more »

IW: My older brother had introduced me to folk music: Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, John Denver, Cat Stevens & Harry Chapin. This happened in the way all little brothers get things from their older brothers. I heard this wonderful music coming from the stereo in my brother’s room, and I wanted to be just like him. I don’t remember my brother ever listening to Dylan, CSN, or the Dead, all of whom I deeply fell for later on. Though I do remember him listening to Cheech and Chong records.
Even more so, I got tag-a-long benefits from my brother’s musical tastes. When my parents took my brother to see Chapin perform at the Huntington Arts Festival that Harry and Sandy were spearheading, I got to go too.
Now I am not using their first names to claim any familiarity with the Chapins. The closest I ever got was the autograph I still have on a Huntington Arts Festival program. But Harry wanted you to call him Harry. He practically insisted on it. As in the audience participation line from his true story, famously awful country song “30,000 lbs of Bananas”. Harry turned his struggle to find an appropriate ending for the song into an opportunity for storytelling. As he went through his various failed attempts, the audience joins in from the refrain from the band in response to his request for feedback: Read more »
