Video Description:
space was the place.
MacKenzie grew up in a wealthy household in Washington, DC. His mother was a society matron whose father was a North Carolina congressman who had chaired the House Ways and Means Committee. His father was a landscape architect who designed golf courses. MacKenzie was an intelligent yet incorrigibl
e youth who was invited to leave several private DC-area prep schools such as Sidwell Friends. He finally found his niche at Saint James School in Hagerstown, MD, a boarding school. There, he played varsity football. He went on to Yale, where he majored in African American studies, graduating in 196
7. He was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. His fraternity brothers included future President George W. Bush. MacKenzie was a year older than Bush. While at Yale, MacKenzie formed a band with classmate and fraternity brother Greenlee, who was quarterback of Yale's football team. The ba
nd was named Prince La La and the Midnight Creepers. Band members wore ermine capes, silver lame hot pants and boasted that they were never invited for return engagements. The year after MacKenzie and Greenlee graduated, they returned to the DKE house during Yale's homecoming. Bush, who since their
departure had become president of DKE, threw them out and banned them from the house. Washington, DC After graduating from Yale, MacKenzie returned to Washington, DC where he worked at various jobs, including one stint driving a Good Humor truck. One day he took a lot of LSD and went to the White H
ouse and climbed the fence. (He later explained that he "was looking for the center of the universe.") He was apprehended by the Secret Service as he ran up the lawn toward the White House. He was the first intruder since the War of 1812 to get completely over the fence. Following his arrest, he was
sent to St. Elizabeths Hospital. This was the first of many visits that he would make in the coming years. The large dose of LSD he had consumed caused a psychotic break that led to schizophrenia, with the result that he would be medicated for the rest of his life.

| This ain't exactly the 'Old' RBS and the SCB Show! This is WAAAAAY too fast..and there's NO SHOW. If you dig this, you should have seen us in full regalia circa '77-'79. Don't get me wrong....Wayne, Brent and Brandon are badass players, and good friends but this ain't the "SHOW". Boogie on, peoples!...and Happy New Year!!! Ernie Lancaster |
