Krazy George helps San Jose wave goodbye to overdue library fines

With his drum in hand, iconic cheerleader Krazy George Henderson popped up at Tuesday’s San Jose City Council meeting to lead the city’s esteemed leaders and everyone else gathered in the hallowed chambers in The Wave, the sports stadium tradition he invented more than 40 years ago.

The stunt — done for the first time at a San Jose council meeting — wasn’t to boost up morale on the council or celebrate the passage of a new ordinance but to help the San Jose Public Library “wave goodbye” to fees on late materials.
