I’m sure singer/songwriter Leslie Fish (who died on Nov. 29, aged 72) was a very nice lady and had a lot of friends, but she was the sort of person I would cross the street—against the light—to avoid. She was an anarchist and gun-rights advocate (because those two things go well together), belonged to the hugely annoying Society for Creative Anachronism, was a Trekkie (Trekker?) and role-playing gamer, nuclear war prepper, and she tried to breed domestic cats for intelligence and polydactyly (super-intelligent cats with opposable thumbs? Check, please!). That said, some of her songs were actually a lot of fun, and worth looking up on YouTube: “Carmen Miranda's Ghost Is Haunting Space Station Three,” “Banned from Argo,” "Hope Eyrie,” "Wobblies from Space.” Fish had what I will call a childlike view of humanity: “Get the government out of the picture, and the people will solve their problems themselves,” she said, presumably with a straight face. “When individuals or groups conflict, all that’s needed is a neutral third party whom both sides can agree on to decide the dispute.” But then, I am what she called a “Mundane Wokey-doke.”
