That's actually far more fitting in the circumstances!
"The scum also rises," comes to mind as well. And HST actually attended a party (along with the Hells' Angels) at Kesey's place in La Honda. Be assured (to keep this on topic) our little gathering was less raucous than that one. I made a pilgrimage to see that place in 1984. Dogs were barking. Guy with a beard came out the front door and yelled across the creek: "Are you a friend of Ken's?" Priceless moment.
Kesey had The Dead as his house band, who was playing at yours?
and you look good in orange!
