1. Who was the Eighth Defendent that was separated from the original

Chicago Eight??????

The answer to both those questions is the same.

2. Harlan Ellison?

He claims to have been the eighth member; he's a writer of dark fiction, if you're not familiar with the name... a really remarkable writer, who's won more awards than ANY other living writer, as far as I know... yet nowadays almost no one seems to know his name...
Is that who you meant?

5. Unca Harlan claimed to be the eighth member?!?!

I know Ellison was chased down by the IRS for being a war-tax resister, and took part in several civil rights marches, but I never knew he was with that infamous cadre. Go Harlan!

P.S. You've read "The Deathbird," haven't you?

7. Oh yeah...

I've read just about everything he's written... Deathbird Stories is definitely a GREAT place to start...
With these damn kids today (haha!), I try and tell 'em that without Harlan, there'd be no Chuck Pahlaniuk, no Fight Club...
He was a major influence; but for anyone who's been to my site and familiar with his work, that is probably very apparent...
