Dialogue

[Satan]

"Are you optimistic 'bout the way that things are going?"
"No, I never ever think of it at all."
"Don't you ever worry when you see what's going down?"
"Well, I try to mind my business, that is, no business at all."
"When it's time to function as a feeling human being, will your Bachelor of Arts help you get by?"
"I hope to study further, a few more years or so. I also hope to keep a steady high."

"Will you try to change things, use the power that you have, The power of a million new ideas?"
"What is this power you speak of and the need for things to change? I always thought that ev'rything was fine, ev'rything is fine."

"Don't you feel repression just closing in around?"
"No, the campus here is very very free."
"Does it make you angry the way war is dragging on?"
"Well I hope the President knows what he's into, I don't know. Oooh I just don't know."

"Don't you see starvation in the city where you live, all the needless hunger, all the needless pain?"
"I haven't been there lately, the country is so fine, but my neighbors don't seem hungry 'cause they haven't got the time, Haven't got the time."

"Thank you for the talk, you know you really eased my mind, I was troubled by the shapes of things to come."
"Well, if you had my outlook, your feelings would be numb, You'd always think that ev'rything was fine. Ev'ry thing is fine."

We can make it better Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
We can change the world now

We can save the children
We can make it happen

If you're going to San Francisco make sure to wear White Flour in your hair?

Did that mean something special,.. or did I get a bad pressing on that one?

No Peas -No Desert~!! Mo Peas -No Desert~!!!

And if there is a bad moon rising, don't forget "there's a bathroom on the right" ::)

I was born in '60. My older cousins were east-coast hippies (long hair required, flower optional) and I worshipped the ground they walked on. They took me everywhere with them, and were teaching me how to dress and how to be 'cool' (far out, man) by the time I was 9.

The first time I heard that song I realized (probably for the first time) that there was some heavier shit to think about than whether my clothes were cool enough. These older guys were talking about it all the time, and here was this guy talking about 'needless hunger' and asking me (rather forcefully) "Don't you see starvation?" (I didn't...) and "Don't it make you angry...?". And I didn't know. At 13, I knew there was a war going on, but I really didn't understand all the reasons. I did know that war sucked. They all do. So I started asking questions...and never stopped.

I suppose it's helpful in building character and compassion (not to mention lots of fun) to spend our youthful free time imagining ourselves philosophers and envisioning that Utopia where you buy the world a Coke, and the world sings in Perfect Harmony...and there is never war. Young people can afford the luxury of idealism. Reality comes soon enough with the mortgage and the 401k. Those guys grew up just like I did, and almost every one of them is as conservative as I am now. Now I know that there are reasons to go to war. But war still sucks.

I'm a conservative hippie. Where the red meets the blue, how much more 'purple' can you get? ;)

Purple Sky. It even sounds like an acid trip, don't it? ;D

[Persephone]

That's beautiful, Sky.

Sky...

don't you think there was a certain innocence about many young people in the 60's?

I don't know, but it seems from pictures I see from that era the girls are all rather ripe and ready for taking....the men are goo-goo eyed and soft and to me, there was a generation looking for wisdom in a pillbox because they felt so left out of any real value or having to have courage or this type of thing....easy life produces a certain lethargy towards major issues such as life and death and that sort of thing.............

This is all a rather blanket statement, but since 1960 or so, men seem to be unsure of what being a man is and women have likewise been unsure of what being a woman is........and they honestly seem to want to like each other better than what they are taught to believe these days......

The sixties found many naive children such as myself,... willing and able to be soft and gooey eyed,... at the drop of a hat or,...... :o
