More potato rage:

And my question is, how old do they think we are? How old do the people who are selling the potatoes think the people who are buying the potatoes are? Do they think we are children? No they don’t. They know children don’t buy raw potatoes.

Nevertheless, they treat us, you and me, autonomous potato-buying adults, as if we were children to be amused, children to be beguiled, children to be tickled, children to be looked down on as credulous manipulable dupes.

Sadly Arthur Lee died in 2006
No Age was signed to sub pop in 2008

I may have to retract my statement

i'm ashamed of you lot, and myself.  we're now on page 11 and we haven't mentioned the modern-day patron saint of potatoes, Penn Jillette.

article: How Magician Penn Jillette Lost 100 Pounds on the Potato Diet

video: How Penn Jillette Lost over 100 Lbs and Still Eats Whatever He Wants | Big Think

i recommend watching the vid.

The Idaho Potato Commission's Tater Team has temporarily suspended its Big Idaho Potato Truck’s cross-country tour due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The 6-ton replica Russet Burbank on a flat-bed truck typically travels the nation, attending events to raise awareness about Idaho potatoes.

We're truly only at the beginning of the precipitous decline in American citizens' awareness of the Idaho potato. How soon will we forget?

And so the rhetoric begins.

"Who ever heard of a Maine potato?", ironically in "The Portland Leader", from Portland, Tennessee.
