Don't forget -- I lost your submission twice, and thought it admirable that you gave me the copy three times. This was summer 1984 -- it was rather nuts, with reach and the lawsuit happening...persistence pays....
It was obviously good writing. And then as now, I am willing to give people a chance to do something they want to do, if I can. However, it was a perfect fit for Generation and spoke to my prankster spirit...did the name come from The Who's "Bitter and Twisted"?
I started at UB Spring ‘85 and graduated in ‘88- I always looked forward to the Bitter Twisted columns. I appreciated how they cut through the BS of college life in such a biting and hilarious way. Thank you so much. I wish I would have kept a copies of Generation so I could look through them- it’s a shame they haven’t been digitized and made publicly available (at least, not from what I’ve been able to find.)

Well, you were the first one not to say no, which was encouraging under the circumstances.

also I am pretty sure you handed me dot matrix printing -- which is how you could show up with it again :-)
I was an editor at the Spectrum up 9/84. I am sure this would have been a great fit for Prodigal Sun, which was a separate paper then.
I am still in touch with Grasshopper -- I forget his name -- excellent musician, was Prodigal Sun editor in 1984-85 or so.

I was undergrad at UB from 83-87 so I was there for those days!
Do you remember the night you and me and Greg stayed up a million hours to put out the ads for the paper?
Yes. It was not the last. Testing the limits of sleep deprivation since 1984 ✊
Hence the motto: “We Never Sleep “
Those were the days!!!!
