Jerry was the Yippie revolutionary who loved attention, used theatre and took on the whole capitalist war-machine that is still gobbling up the planet – then he sold out and opted in!
It was fun while it lasted and it pointed out some truths about the greed and stupidity that is running this planet!
Don’t trust anyone over thirty.
That’s a worry! I’m over thirty! But I never did trust myself too much!
Most men act so tough and strong on the outside because on the inside, we are scared, weak, and fragile. Men, not women, are the weaker sex.
That’s why men buy guns, play with fast cars and motorbikes and have to show off so much!
By the end, everybody had a label — pig, liberal, radical, revolutionary … If you had everything but a gun, you were a radical but not a revolutionary.
We love to put people in pigeon-holes!
Exactly!! Your life is a statement of your philosophy! Be positive and change the world.
My life is a revolution.
I would be copping out if I stayed in the myth of the ’60s.
But the sixties gave me the fuel!
Ah, but where have all the flowers gone! And the hurdy gurdy man, just been listening to Donovan at the Skeggie folk festival.
So was I!! I might have seen you here!!
Oh dear, among the crowds! It was our fourth year there and we have booked for next year. It’s perfect for our friend with MS and her wheelchair or bike as she calls it. It’s also perfect for us to catch up with some live music.
I enjoyed it. Bob Geldof was unexpectedly brilliant!
Yes, he was. I had thought he wouldn’t but he had rehearsed well! I wonder whether he’s preparing for a tour! Pity there’s never much reception at Skegness but perhaps see you there next year if not before!
I hope he does a tour. I’d go and see him again!
I enjoyed Donovan but he was a bit full of himself.
