This is the very end post-script to the book – Ruminating on Roy Harper. It is complete, edited and ready to go! Should be out shortly.
I wrote it because there are many people who tell me that we cannot change things. We can.
Get out there and change the world!
We cannot do it alone. It takes a lot of people to bring about change. We can only plug away in our tiny arena. Our job is to dissent and suggest so that we can build a zeitgeist that will change the world.
For all the cynics out there: you are wrong. You can change the world and we did! We did not change it enough but it is better than it was. What we have to do is change it more. It can be done. We stand up and speak out. We put our head’s above that parapet and shout. We change our bit. We influence the zeitgeist.
These are not mere gestures.
Without all those positive dreamers, dissenters and activists, we are doomed. With them we have a fighting chance.
That’s why people like Roy are so precious. He may be a cantankerous, frustrating, mean old bastard, but he is our old bastard. He says it how it is and dares to challenge what is wrong!
This is hopefully not the end.
