My father called me about this before I'd even seen it online. He kept saying 1959, Chicago, like it meant something to him personally. I only knew the man from an old clip of him talking about that 440 record at Tufts, 46.9 seconds, but hearing my dad's voice change was its own thing.

Saw the Gates pie clip in a film studies class thirty years ago and never forgot it. He made anarchism funny and real in a way most people couldn't. Rest well, Noël.
