		The John in this essay is John Sinclair, an early-Boomer generation counter-culture revolutionary who made his name at the University of Michigan in his young adulthood for leading the music and drug culture there during the mid-to-late 1960s.
		Sinclair's father was a factory engineer whose interests were quite traditional and common-sense 'mechanical,' so he and my father hit it off quite well.
		Sinclair's mother, Elsie, however was 'something else.' She was a Davison High School English teacher who, though personally 'likeable,' held and taught the most radical ideas of the time -- Kerouac 'beat-generation' stuff.

	The U.s. Vs. John Lennon Review \| TVGuide.com
		This new era of outspoken activism criticizing the war, racial injustice and the Nixon White House culminated in Lennon's appearance at a benefit concert calling for the release of White Panther John Sinclair, a poet sentenced to a 10-year prison stretch for passing two joints to an undercover policewoman.
		Sinclair's quick subsequent release convinced Nixon of Lennon's formidable power, and with the voting age newly lowered to 18, the incumbent's chances of winning the upcoming 1972 election depended on his ability to appeal to the demographic that loved him least.
		Leaf and Scheinfeld score their footage with thematically appropriate Lennon songs, and the copious clips of John and Yoko voicing controversial opinions from the couches of The Mike Douglas Show and Dick Cavett are startling reminders of the role real talk shows once played in American life.

		John Sinclair is legendary as the man who guided the rock-and-revolution MC-5 to early fame, and as the political prisoner in the early days of the War on Drugs whose 1971 release from a 9-1/2-to-10-year sentence for possession of two joints was secured by high-profile admirers like John Lennon and Stevie Wonder.
		But in subsequent years John Sinclair forged a whole new legend as a New Orleans-based preacher of the power of blues and jazz, "his love and knowledge of which form the basis of his wonderful spoken-word performances" (John Strausbaugh, New York Press) and popular award-winning music programs for WWOZ Radio.
		Sinclair has also begun work with co-author Al Campbell on an as-yet-untitled account of the MC-5 and the White Panther Party for Feral House Press and is the subject of a feature-length film by Steve Gebhardt to be released in 2003.

	John Sinclair. Total Energy records.
		John Sinclair is one helluva guy: poet, writer, radical, disc jokey, marijuana advocate, former chairman of the White Panther Party, former manager of the MC5, promoter of the legendary Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival, and now recording artist.
		Released after the sentence was overturned that year, Sinclair parted ways with the MC5 and, exercising his belief that it's a political act for a white man to promote fl music, organized the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz Festival, wrote album liner notes and articles and taught blues courses at Wayne State University.
		While Sinclair is still staunchly left-wing when discussing pot legalization, impending war and socioeconomic troubles, he doesn't seem as bent on fostering revolution as he was 30 years ago.

	John Lennon shines on in new documentary - Boston.com
		For those who do remember or are aware of the zeitgeist of the counterculture, this lengthy regurgitation of well-known history mars an otherwise interesting probe into a strange sidebar of the Nixon administration's attempt to suppress those who publicly challenged its failed military and political strategies in Vietnam.
		The guts of the matter, the administration's failed effort to deport Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono -- presumably in the delusional belief that one of the world's most famous individuals would go unnoticed if returned to his native soil -- is fascinating.
		The movie starts with a now somewhat obscure figure, John Sinclair, a poet and band manager whose lengthy incarceration in Michigan on marijuana charges triggered a 12-hour concert in December 1971, broadcast throughout the U.S. Lennon appeared along with many other musical acts.
