Barry, of course the Establishment is The Man. You know, anyone who would want to keep a brilliant visionary/reactionary like Pete Chao off the boards so as to prevent him from turning the baseball card collecting community on its head. When I think of Pete I can only think of....

Shaft!

Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
You're damn right

Who is the man
That would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft!)
Can ya dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about
(Shaft!)
Right on

You see this cat Shaft is a bad mother--
(Shut your mouth)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft
(Then we can dig it)

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft)
