Kind of like one of those cartoons where the guy
exhausts himself climbing up the mountain to get to
the guru who then gives him some useless advice. 

I recall the street comedian, used to perform at
Venice Beach down south and on Sproul Plaza at UC
Berkeley, called himself the X-Swami X, "the answer to
the perennial question, Why Swami why? No, X-Swami X!"


Savage with hecklers, sometimes he'd have a rocking
chair and sit with a big handmade book of jokes and
read them, sometimes he was buzzing on something, up
and moving around, entertaining the students and
others sitting on the steps of the Student Union
building, , he was also very adept with hecklers,
especially one particular psycho who used to stand out
there where Telegraph meets Bancroft Way and preach
the Gospel, X-Swami X could get that guy  wound up
pretty tight with his rap about wanting to get "eating
pussy on skateboards" adopted as an Olympic sport.

He was already up in his 60s then - at least 20 years
since I saw him - so perhaps he's knocking them dead
in another dimension by now, out there in the
multiverse...
