It's Right To Be Wrong

"Don't Seek Praise, Seek Criticism" by Paul Arden

Do Not Seek Praise, Seek Criticism

Pet Rocks were a 1975 fad originated in California by salesman, Gary Dahl. They went on to become a cultural phenomena.  Here was a pet that took no care and still gave its owner a few moments of pleasure.
Like most fads, others joined in the explosion, there was even a web site titled, Pet Rock Sanitarium to put your pet rock in. Now they live on in ebay by the hundreds and are mentioned over and over in essays on the culture of that era.

Gary Dahl died in  March 2015.
