At least it ain't some- thing like airconditioned . . uh. . mind trap, like you imow, indirect lighting and all that crap. I mean this is better. It's like a basketball game. Maybe we can play basketball afterwards. I do that too, just like you. Play basketball. Beat any cat in this school and pool. “Well, so. . uh. . these are some of the things that are going on out there. More going on. The lower East side where I come from. It's not the East Village. The East Village is away on property and atuff and you build electric circuses, fillmores, and bit rock stuff. Cultural revolution. Yeh! Yeh! Flower power. Sell it to Madison Ave. That's the East Village. You make more money in the East Village than on the lower East side. Right. Well, we live on the lower East side. See, a slum. A meltimgpot. America. Every minority group in the country lives there. You lmow. It's violent and it's bubbling. It's angry. There are 10,000 tons of garbage right now on the lower East side right now in the street. During the garbage strike in New York, I remember counting thousands of tons of garbage. On the streets of New York. Just piling up. Brilliant visions of garbage. Going to the sky. They had this vision, Wow! That history would come along in fifty years and see America destroyed itself by nuclear attack when, in fact, people just got sick and tired of picking up their garbage. That's the way it'll be, but history won't tell it that way. Because, history, as Napoleon said, is the cormonly-held, agreed- upon . . set of agreed-upon lies. That's what Napoleon said. History is lies. Everything I said was allie. So you. . .gotta go out and make up your own mind, hu? Come down and look. Look in Chicago. The whole world is watching. Says get that out of my living room. What is that cop beating up our kids. What is it about? I don't believe it. It didn't happen. They were provoked, Okay. You lmow. I understand. | es -30-
