Now out on Regent Press: I Didn't Know God Made Honky Tonk Communists -- a memoir about draft card burning, witchcraft, and the sexual meaning of ballgames by David Miller.

About the Book:

"Miller's memoir...is focused mainly on his philosophical pursuits...From (his) early declaration of pacifism and opposition to the Vietnam War, Miller became interested in ecofeminism, witchcraft, and Mayan ballgames, all of which is related here. Miller then writes about his theory that American ball sports share the same patriarchal basis and societal function as the Mayan version."

      -- Reference and Research Book News, Feb. 2002


"...(David) managed to pull it off bringing so many different strands together. I have read the parts about Marija (Gimbutas) together with (his) life details with much delight".

      -- Donna Read, Filmmaker (The Goddess Trilogy and Signs out of Time, The Life and Work of Archeaologist Marija Gimbutas).

"David is an historical cartographer eloquently weaving fact and myth through a unique alchemical map of his transformation...and in the book's images, we see the obvious similarities between the ballgame creation theory in Popol Vuh and the harsh realities we fact in the ball games of today."

      -- Juan Pablo Gutierrez, Director SF Colectivo Del Rescate Cultural and Organizer of the annual La Presecion Ritual Del Dia De Los Muertos de San Francisco.

"...extremely readable...like having a little conversation with David...if you went through the Sixties but can't remember it for various reasons, then you should read this book. If you're too young to have gone through the sixties, then you should read this book."

      -- Pat Wynne, Director SF Bay Area Labor Heritage Rockin' Solidarity Chorus
