Today his gloves are right off as he harks back to Europe in the 1930’s and smears Trump and his followers with Mussolini. “In breaking the taboos of civility and civilization, a Trump speech and rally resembles the rallies of fascist leaders who pantomimed the wishes of their followers and let them fill in the text” “Thanks to Donald, the Trumpkins at last have a license to be as ugly as they want to be”.

Stephens has no grounds for these chargesthe time. Really, I don't feel I had much of a choice. When I entered the University of Akron's art program, I met others like me, which sealed the deal, once I had a supportive community. This was in the mid-70's, and the faculty was young and very plugged in to what was going on, and a really great local music scene was developing, and there was a sense of community and energy.

I met people who were influential to my thinking, so that was good.
