At least one insider disagrees with this story, however. L John Harris is a former Cheese Boarder, author of the book Foodoodles, and a historian of Berkeley and the Gourmet Ghetto. By Harris's account, Kahn certainly used the term and likely popularized it, but did not invent it herself. To that, he credits Darryl Henriques.
I began my professional show business career in 1967 when I joined the San Francisco Mime Troupe, earning the princely sum of $5 a performance. We were doing an antiwar Commedia play called The Military Lover. The Fillmore, the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, the Doors, the Beatles, the Stones, the Byrds, the Animals--all of God's creatures--you remember, don't you? That was the year Captain Kirk hot-rodded around the galaxy in the Starship Enterprise and Dustin Hoffman graduated with Mrs. Robinson. Allen Ginsberg was Howling, Paul Krassner was realizing, Abbie Hoffman was freeloading, and Scoop Nisker on KSAN in San Francisco was telling everyone, "If you don't like the news, then go out and make some of your own!"
In 2011 he persuaded 20 theaters across the U.S. to do a reading of Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't Happen Here," all on the same night to honor the 75th anniversary of the Federal Theatre Project's performing the play in 17 cities on October 27, 1936.
Darryl now runs the Leaning Pizza Catering Company. He goes to his clients' homes, cooks pizza and performs comedy.
In the seventies and early eighties, he was regular contributor to Scoop Nisker's Last News Show on KSAN, where he played comic characters like Joe Carcinogenni and the Swami from Miami, who made occasional appearances in our early Videowest shows.
This 2011 national reading project was initiated by Darryl Henriques, formerly of the San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT), and is co-sponsored by the SFMT and Dell'Arte International of Blue Lake, Calif. Henriques hopes to call attention to an important piece of American history and to alert today's audiences to the Federal Theatre Project, which employed thousands of theater workers, circus performers and cabaret and vaudeville acts.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Federal Theatre Project's production of the play "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis and John C. Moffitt, join a nationwide event on October 24 by organizing a local reading or performance of the play.
And then there's Darryl Henriques, the Tom Lehrer-esque political satirist, author, and KSAN radio personality who spent the late '60s and '70s as a member of groups like the San Francisco Mime Troupe and East Bay Sharks, "making the world safe for Ronald Reagan."[ permanent dead link ]
