“One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. 'Oh, no!', I said, 'Disneyland burned down.' He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.”

RIP. Nothin' but love for the trailblazers who took their licks so that subsequent generations would have the same choices as everyone else.

here's an article from 2004 that captures a lot of the trailblazing struggle
