that is true, you really hit the nail on the head. Berg was a user and a con man. He made use of situations as they came along and was adept at being clever enough to figure out how to push buttons that would get people moving. It amazes me to no end how he was in the right place at the right time - first with the hippies and disallusioned yet idealistic youth of the 60s who were searching for something spiritual as well, then he was right there in the 70s and 80s when the world decided that free love was cool and all barriers came down - he was right on it. What a gold mine he fell into. How uncanny is that?
