41st anniversary..

On Jan 1, 1976, a Cal State Northridge art student, Danny Finegood, scaled the mountain in darkness with a friend. Together they hung huge pieces of fabric over the letters to spell out "HOLLYWEED," in celebration of relaxed marijuana laws, for a class project. He got an A grade.

At least it's an easy task to undo. At first glance, I thought they moved sections of the sign.

I dislike vandalism, especially something that's hard to return to normal.

Folks interested in culture jamming may enjoy reading a bit about the Billboard Liberation Front. Believe I've written about the SF Suicide Club before. The BLF was birthed from a Suicide Club event.

I don't like people messing with my hometown's landmarks.
