Ellen Willis died on Thursday. (Times obituary)

It's easy for people who believe in the radicalizing power of freedom and pleasure to become self-centered; Willis was anything but. She was also the first writer to make me care about how the 60s were still relevant, and this without herself sounding stuck there. She's had a bigger effect on my politics than any other writer.

Time to reread Beginning To See The Light, I guess, and think about the fan letter I never wrote.
