Pair who say they turned Hollywood sign into Hollyweed were inspired by ’70s CSUN student

In an interview with the online magazine Vice, Zach Fernandez said the effort was inspired by a similar 1976 alteration of the sign carried out by Cal State Northridge art student Danny Finegood, who changed the sign to “Hollyweed” as part of a school art project in response to a recent relaxation of marijuana laws. Finegood got an A grade on his project.
