a sudden I realized we don't own Montreal. And I‘m not allowed to travel outside the United States. That was a funny thing cause like for two days we were thinkin’, well, we're going to Montreal, see. But I called up the District Attorney and he said, no, you can't; we don't own Montreal yet. So I can't go there. I'm goin’ back to the lower east side. Make some more garbage. *how would you like Norman Mailer for Mayor'?) Yea, Norman Mailer for Mayor. I think he oughta run his Negro maid for Police Commissioner. Oh, I respect him; I don't love him. I respect him as a writer. I think he's like second best goin.' We're kinda friends but it's ab, he's a lush, He drinks. I mean I got chromosome damage, so like, we have trouble like communicating alot of things. But, ah, Bresien. I like Breslen better. Jimmy Breslen, he's runnin’ for president of City Council on the ticket, but it's OK; I mean ~~ ry . a = 2 = +» = Mailer's gonna campaign from Austin, Texas.’ He's writin’ a book called why he should be sent to the moon instead of the astronauts.

He really had a good understanding of what happened. That's amazing he can get that under- standing even though he's not involved. Sing it out. Don't you wanna ask a question? "(Question, ‘have you ever been down to Zap?') I don't swallow goldfish anymore. Yea, sure, OK. Sounds OE. “(Question ‘what do you do about these minor hassles, like you go to a restaurant and the police come up and bug you crazy, hit them back or something'?) They don't do that, they throw you out. Don’ they? They always throw me out. I mean, they try to, but I, see, I like - my concept of revolution is like it happens everyplace. You know, a cab don't stop and pick me up in New York ~ I kick the door right in, you know? Like, I went in a police station about a year and a half ago and they arrested twenty- four blacks, smoking pot, and I knew that, like we were having a smoke-in with five thousand people in Thompson Square Park, you know, and the hippies could do it. And they were bustin’ the blacks and we had to build that y ~- 23 -
