"flowers, as & symbol. They went up to Golden Gate Park and
i you picked them and brought them around and gave them to
cops and said we love you. Make love not war, yea.. Then
decided they didn't like that. They didn't want kids doing
"So on and on, three weeks ago in Palm Springs,
twenty thousand young people, festival, festival of iife, like
‘we were having in Lincoln Park, huh. They came with helicopters,
tear gas, mace and clubbed them and shot three kids, one still
in the hospital. All across the country. You are brothers
and sisters. You're smoking pot, huh; that's the revolution,
big deal. Busted for pot, that's a political arrest. You have
to respond accordingly. Get that brother out any way. Scrub
their minds. New York, a group on Valentine's Day sent thirty
thousand joints marijuana out in the mail. All kinds of people,
judges, nuns, priests. Said, hey, you heard heard alotabout it -
here it is. Three thousand Complaints. They can't figure out
who did it because by their prices, it cost about $35,000. Let
them keep hunting. I didn't get any. I'm waiting for Mother's
Day. Flower children growing thorns.
“Wanna have a festival of life in Lincoln Park.
Can we have this festival? Well, you guys can't have it; ten
thousand people gone out on a march on Lake Michigan, naked -
that's idliegal. There it is, show us the law. Well, it's
back there....we got the law. Can't do it. Excuse me, sir,
we'd like a permit to raise the Pentagon three hundred feet
in the air. It's illegal. What do you mean it's illegal,
sir; a pentagon is a five-sided figure, it's the symbol of evil
in all religions. We're gonna circle it with twelve hundred
holy men and raise it in the air. It's illegal. They arrested
two of us, measuring the Pentagon. But they, they're liberal
down there so they give us a permit for ten feet. We didn't
get it up, you see, we had a big failure. It's one of our
many failures.
