They used to be good, many moons ago. Ian McFarland was great.

But that was then, and this is now.


Maybe it was a bad day,
but I found him to be arrogant and boring,
back in the late eighties.
Same impression came across somewhere else,
don't remember if it was an interview in MT or where.


He was pretty cool. I went to an ANARC Convention in Toronto once and somehow
after I left there was some kinda deal where one might recoup ones taxes they
paid whilst in country, along with that info came an opportunity to nominate a
Canuck as a Goodwill Ambassador or something like that through their Prime
Minister or some such high office. I nominated Ian McFarland... and at a later
ANARC Convention in Montreal, almost as soon as I walked in the door of the
hotel/motel he was right there to greet me and thank me for the honour.

I was impressed that he even knew who I was just walking in the door.
