i 2. HY 100-161 5 “Pour days last summer, gunshots, fighting, Blacks and Puerto Ricans and hippies, fightin' the T.P.F. cause we © wanna live in @ society that has human values, not property. We had & party like four months before we went to Chicago ii Grand Central Station. JI mean, like, eight thousand kids came. Midnight, to celebrate spring. We had balloons and singing and smokin' dope, huggin' and kissin'. I don't know if you've been in Grand Central Station, Huge, huge, lobby there, totally filled with people, an absolutely beautiful sight. Some kids climb up on the information counter in the middie and took the hands off the clock. Two hundred pigs came in a flying wedge. They learned that in Notre Dame, wham. One hundred fifty in the hospital., I got knocked unconscious. Busted ankle. Friend of mine, Ron\shay, came to my aid, see, gonna help out? Picked up, threw fim through a glass windoy. They broke both his hands. See, for months, there was talkin! about this story, and people come and say, why did they take the hands off the clock? That's all they could think about. Ten f....' lousy bucks, hands on a clock. Ron Shay got one hand damaged forever. That's the way society is. Middle of Grand Central Station, about hands on a G.. d... clock. Did you see that Black Panther movie? All of a sudden the cops gotta come in, break up this scene to protect this little square of like, what, what the hell was it? What were they doin'? Did you see them standin' around there? T In et notierad that Por the ee ee eh Wwe We FON Yok Wo wssesev &2wWwS Led first time. Here come the cops, well, OK, they're gonna bust up the crowd or somethin'. No. They 're gonna guard this ‘ little thing. I don't understand what they're doin'. They did it at Central Park on Easter. We decided to have another be-in. Fifty thousand people came out. The cops came wading in, bustin! everything; I don't know, somebody took off their clothes or something. That's illegal. Beatin' the s... out of people. All of a sudden they come in with the hoses and they're guarding this rock. And here's like fifty thousand kids all around and - here're the cops backed up against this rock and they're guardin' it. And you kids wonder, like, maybe there's somethin' der that rock. There's somethin' under that rock. They sure got alot of manpower in there. Guardin' rocks and reservoirs from LSD and zoos from lions, puttin' in the ABM up here. Ha ha ha. Ha ha. The dinosauer is sinking in the mud. So long dinosauer. New day is coming. Summer's coming. We'll be out there. Us and the Rclling Stones. Right there fightin' in the streets. Hope you come down. I'11 take some answers.
