      The Loren Stein interview is neat.  They talk about Leonard Michaels a lot, and on the Leonard Michaels wikipedia page it says this: “[Leonard’s son] Jesse Michaels was the vocalist and primary lyricist in the seminal underground punk rock band Operation Ivy.”

      WAIT WHAT?  Leonard Michaels’ son was the singer of Op Ivy?!?!
