END LEE....

Once upon a time, Lee was drafted to Korea and like most soldiers, was killed in action. He was shipped back home to California where a kindly old buddy gave him a hallucinogenic kiss of life. He was re-born as one of Sgt. Pepper's Band, joining Lucy and a million others who, in that sparkling summer of 1967, overflowed into public parks, glossy magazines and each other's arms. Towards the end of 1967, he left California for India, where the Brothers of Eternal Love had told him he would find his guru. "In Hong Kong I bought some ginseng root, the purest thing in the world. It is very rare. Eaten over a period of 21 days it is like taking acid, only a body purifier as well. It glows in the night. The guy in the shop didn't think I had enough money for it. I went next door, which looked like it hadn't had no customers for about 20 years. They had it for 250 dollars. I went to the bank, and when I got back to the store, the whole family was waiting to see me buy the stuff. It was in a tin box. Inside the tin box was another old, wooden one, and inside that were about thirty long sticks. When I opened the box in Calcutta, everyone in the hotel wanted some. You know: "I got a sick mother," and all that. Next thing I knew I was down to one piece. When I got to Katmandu I had to camp outside the town. There was a Danish photographer there taking pictures, so I showed him my ginseng root and Indian statue I had. I left the box open when I went to show him around the camp and when I got back, the kids had broken the root up into little pieces and passed it round. It blew my mind. All gone, and I didn't get to eat a single piece." In Katmandu, Lee spent his days in the Blue Tibetan restaurant, playing his records, stoned out of his mind on Government hashish, and paying his friends' bills. His attempt to start a commune ended when he was put on a bus and dumped at the Indian border. "The Times" 12 December 1967 "Katmandu a hippy camp at Dhulikhel, a mountain village 19 miles from here on the Katmandu-Tibet Highway, has been disbanded by the Nepal police. They are said to have deported the camp leader and warned others to leave the country soon. The camp was to have become an international temple for thechippie cult. It 61: had been decorated with photographs of King Mahendra and Queen Sita, but these proved of no avail against • police action." 0

In Kabul, Lee heard that the Pope had gone on TV in America asking for peace and decided to go to Rome with his friend Paolo to give him "everything that the camp represented all the art work, the pictures. the souvenirs, Buddha statues, scrolls, a tonka . " but the Brothers of Eternal Love sent 250 of Blue Cheer in the post, Lee held a Christmas acid party for 150 guests, and the Pope was forgotten. Along the Pot Trail, his party was the most talked about social event of the year. In Copenhagen, where he had gone to spend the rest of the winter with friends he was caught trying to record the questions of custom officials; tore up all his money, and was put on a plane to Switzerland. In Paris, he painted his hotel room psychedelically and was thrown out. He bought a car, splashed it with fluorescent paint and was then arrested for having no licence or insurance. Marseilles, Casablanca, Marrakech (See OZ 18 where we met Lee after his Christmas Eve love-in) where Moroccan police discovered he had no passport ("I was the happiest man in the world without that thing. The Post Office gave me my mail and 'the bank cashed my cheques.") and Lee was sent to Casablanca (". they put handcuffs on me and I spent the next two hours in the back of a car being tortured with cigarettes. They beat me with •ists, pulled out bits of my beard and kept giving me chops to the ribs. It was a bum trip all the way to the central police station at Casablanca.") Lee refused a passport or repatriation. The Living Theatre tried to help, but eventually, faced with the alternative of spending the rest of his life in a Moroccan gaol, accepted a passport only to find that the authorities at Ceuta, the Spanish enclave on the North African coast would not let him through the border. "For 21 days I was in a piece of no-man's land, shaped like a crucifixion . . . one day the Spanish guards beat me up, and I returned to the village between the borders where they make the fishing boats. I had been crying and one of the men made motions as if to say "What's wrong" I pointed to the Spanish guards, and unbuttoned by pants to show him my thigh which was red. Later it turned black and blue. I made a motion for food by putting my hand up to my mouth and speaking a few words of Arabic. These Spanish guys got uptight about it and made a protest to the guards about beating me up' That afternoon a waiter from the teahouse showed up and said "Where's the American?" They had this four course dinner for me on a big tray, all kinds of food. Later that night I sneaked into Moroccc a little village and had supper and some kif. When I got back I found another dinner waiting for me that the Spanish guards had brought me. They had been looking all over for me. That day I really had food." IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS Back in Paris, he managed to get a room for one night by wrapping his head up in a towel and pretending to be ill. but otherwise found himself relegated to gutters and suburban churchyards. London, since his arrival three months ago, he has found more sympathetic. He was told not to play his record player in Hyde Park, was photographed at a window of the 144 Picadilly's squat-in as a 'defiant , symbolising total rejection of society', and he found the vibrations at the Isle of Wight 'outasight'. "There's no way I can express my feeling for what I seen out there. It really is a message, a spiritual message." But not everyone received it: October '69: "A very good friend from the other side of the Grove came over with his sitar, and that was when we were just coming on acid. And that guy was really outasight on his Indian sitar. Anyway all day long it was just beautiful. just fantastic vibes and about three o'clock that morning, they 'came in. They had come over that afternoon, looking for a man for questioning about some deal or other. I let him in. He didn't look like no policeman. I thought he was an insurance salesman. He came in and after he got inside he said he was a policeman. I sat there talking for a minute to him. I asked him if he went to church on Sunday, I said looks like you eat good. He was getting fat, you know. that downhill drag they get from over-using their whatever. We were playing a game to get the house organised. We were thinking of games we could play in the room to keep the kids that come there open-minded. Like if they got something to trip on in the room with their music, like fish. A tank of fish. Kitty cats.Doggies. Real trips. Keeps them going in the right direction, towards nature. I found a fish tank upstairs and I'm going to move it down. I was talking to the girls about moving it down today. I've got it all ready. Soon as I get this motor going to keep the water warm and filtered. And we decided to put coloured glass in the windows. We already had the guy over. He looked at it. Gonna cut the glass and put it all in. Red glass, blue, green. But I think everyone is down on anything being done on this house. I ordered this money specially from the states just to do all these things. To make it a nice trip room. Well, that morning, I went to the bathroom, the kids remained in my cubby hole next door to the bathroom. And while I was in the bathroom, I heard this voice saying as I was sitting there, all you people out! In that real old British accent, and I knew something was up. I looked out the door and I seen these three or four cops right inside the big room but still right at the doorway. I jumped inside my little closet, shut the door and locked it. Blew the

candles out and said the fuzz is here busting us. Then we heard all this rumble outside the door, somebody smashing something. Then voices and some moaning and groaning. In the panic and excitement, we opened the window, and there was the drainpipe. I slid down it, hit bottom and said, "Come on, Man, follow me, it's groovy." I cut out the front way. As I made it out through the bushes, and was just making my turn to split down the road, I heard this cop say, "There goes one down the road. Get him," and I put on extra speed, it was like putting myself in overdrive. Completely man. Like I was on the racetrack of the world. About three thousand yards later, I ducked inside of an alley way going in between two buildings. I lay down under some stairs there and lay panting like mad until I could catch my breath. As I got up from resting, I seen them put somebody in the paddy wagon. They had several police cars and I think two of those big vans. those ice cream wagons. Black ice cream wagons. What's that cat's name who makes all those busts. It was in a cartoon in that paper Black Dwarf. Well, he struck again last night. That motherfucker right there in that cartoon strikes again. What's his name. Attention all heads in this area. Whoever reads this magazine, be on the look-out for P.C. Frank and that motherfucking ice cream wagon with the red light on the top and the blue uniforms. Don't let them close your mind. Please don't let 'em close your mind. Keep an open mind. All things pass. Outasight, outasight, outasight. I can't win. I can't lose. I got nothing to lose. One to me is fame and shame. One to me is pleasure and pain. One to me is lose or gain. They're all the same says my brain. The Tao says that, or words to that effect." The following night, Lee received 100 dollars from an American friend and Lee spent it all on an acid party. He mixed it with punch and turned on fellow squatters and forty guests. Bongos, flutes, drums, a sitar, plenty of food, and with everyone tripping beautifully, the arrival of twenty fuzz seemed a matter of little importance. Heads were lined up against walls, shaken down. hash was confiscated, roaches collected, but surprisingly no arrests were made. "We was all laughing. The music still going and no one was getting paranoic. Only them cops. Anyhow, I don't know how, but they just left those roaches and walked out. It was just outasight. The magic of acid and they just didn't know what to do. Fantastic." Lee was jubilant, but the following afternoon they got him. At the moment, he is in Brixton gaol, awaiting trial on two charges of resisting arrest, and possession. Bail was refused. "I don't know. Why? A guy just wants to practice his religion, just wants to do his things, man. All I want to do is smoke, stay stoned, and just groove.

People who say, "I agree with your goals. I don't like your tac- tics" are full of horseshit. The goals are always excuses — it's the tactics liberals, on our side. We scream furiously when our demands are not that are critical. The means of the revolution are the revolution. If we met, as if we had expected them to be in the first place. We know we're had to decide beforehand what our goals were, we'd be arguing about actors and we must believe in our act. the future society for the next 1000 years, bit we can all agree what to Why do people go to long meetings debating for hours what the do.

Castro, but we're working for Kennedy so that we can make things easier for revolutionaries, don't you know?" And then they added, "and we got free tickets." But this time the revolutionaries had a great tactic. The liberals had to prove their friendship to us by eating our bologna sandwiches. If they ate the bologna it would ruin their appetites for sure, and we could be certain they would be repulsed by Bobby Kennedy's dinner. You are what you eat. What if one day 5000 sound trucks travelled throughout a city announcing, "The war in Vietnam is over. Turn on your radio for further information." The telephone wires would be buzzing. Within two minutes everybody would be calling his mother telling her "The war is over!" Nixon would hae to come on television to reassure the American people that the war is still on, despite the vicious rumour- mongers. The peace movement is not bureaucratically organized well enough to carry out such a project, and is also too locked into ideology to let its imagination go crazy. Phil Ochs went around from peace group to peace group in spring of 1967 trying to convince them that it was time for the peace movement to celebrate the end of the war. The rumour started going around that Phil Ochs had become an apolitical acid-head, which was not true. Phil just sees too many movies. "How can we deal with the absurdity of Vietnam except with our own absurdity?" asked Ochs. Finally Ochs gave up on the politicos and peace people, and started working with the freaks. Posters of a sailor kissing his girl on V-D day, WW II vintage, were plastered all over New York City, announcing the celebration of the end of the Vietnam war. 2000 teenagers and assorted nuts showed up at Washington Square Park — for most of whom the war had never even begun. We didn't know what to do with ourselves, so we went around playing our noisemakers and telling each other that "The war is over!" We got in a huddle and started counting backwards: 100-99-98-97, and as we got into the 20s more joined us and when we hit 1, we screamed "The war is over!" and we started running up Fifth Avenue to share the good news with our fellow New Yorkers. The cops were unprepared. They thought we were going to be nice boys and girls and celebrate the end of the war by playing in the Washington Square sandbox all afternoon. We ran through the streets screaming, "The war is over!" Cab drivers honked their horns. People stopped their cars and got out to ask, "What did you say?" Even pro-war types waved and said, "Is it really? How did you know?" Alan Ginsberg ran into automats, threw his hands to the sky in that special Ginsberg handspring, and screamed at the top of his lungs, 'The war is over! The war is over!" Everything became part of the celebration. New York cops on horses and with sirens blazing came after us to clear the streets. We thought the police were celebrating the end of the war, too, bringing their own noisemakers and props. Red lights, green lights, traffic jams and noises all became part of the celebration. Nobody was unhappy the war was over. And what was even more amazing: Nobody asked: Who won? Nobody gave a damn. We should have broken into Broadway plays and screamed, 'The war is over!" People there would have turned to us and said, "Ssssh. You're interrupting the play. Ssssh." We'd respond, "We're part of the play." "Demonstrations should turn you on, not off," says Phil Ochs. The demonstration broke people out of their expected roles, Pro-war people couldn't figure out how to react to this psychological assault on their minds. How much more effective than parading around with signs saying, "End the war." The key to theatre is timing. Theatre grows out of the situation and the key to theatre is timing. In the summer of '67 it was appro- priate to scream the war is over. But then LBJ pulled a theatrical trick on us. He said the war is over. The role of the peace movement during the time of negotiations is to show people that the war is still on. The yippie demonstration in Chicago was the reverse of the War is Over demonstration. We ran through the streets shouting, 'The War is On!" The power to define is the power to control. Over 99% of the violence that takes place in America is by the State through its cops and armies. But when a cop shoots a nigger, that's "law and order." When a COOdiftWeaffrye

black man defends himself against a cop, that's "violence." Is the same moral act performed when a Jew kills a Nazi as when a Nazi kills a Jew? Why aren't there different words to describe the violence of the oppressor and the violence of the oppressed? The power structure creates the frame of reference which forces the people to see things from their point of view. The role of the revolutionary is to create actions which force a revolutionary frame of reference. Huey P. Newton determined what millions of people would think and talk about for years when one October morning in 1967 in Oakland, California, he shot and killed an Oakland cop who had stopped his car and was bullying him, ready to kill. Not a million books, articles or speeches could have defined the situation so clearly as Huey's action. Huey forced people throughout the world to ask themselves: What would I do if I were Huey Newton? What would I do if I were an Oakland black terrorized by Oakland police? Thousands of people identified not with the dead Oakland policeman but with Huey Newton. A massive response from black people, white liberals, white radicals, students, professors, doctors, housewives throughout California formed the Huey Newton Defense Committee and argued that black people should arm themselves and defend themselves from the violence of the white police. The white power structure tried to react business-as-usual. One white life is worth 1000 black lives. They made plans to execute Huey P. Newton. The Oakland courts were unable to execute Huey. Huey was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and- sentenced to 2-to 15 years in jail — a compromise. Huey Newton has become a symbol of the liberated, black revolutionary acting for his people. The battle to free Huey is the battle to free ourselves, because Huey did something that was right, but that we are as yet afraid to do, and he redefined the situation for all of us. The Black Panthers have been able to take actions that have created legends throughout America. The Panther — , black leather jacket, gun — gave the Panther myth incredible force. Three Panthers on the street became an army of thousands. When the jackasses of the California state legislature were meeting in Sacramento to deliberate a bill to leave gunS in the hands of the cops but take them out of the hands of the victims of the cops, the blacks, the Panthers armed themselves, drove to Sacramento and invaded the Chamber to personally pay a visit on their Congressmen to discuss their grievances. The idea of armed mad niggers invading their Sacramento sanctuary must be a nightmare of every congressman. But the Panthers were acting out of common sense. How else can a citizen talk to congressmen? By writing a letter which is answered mechanically by machine? Our legislators have cut themselves off from the experience of the people. They represent special interest groups and see the people only on guided tours. They don't experience the life of the people, so we have to bring our way of life to them. Fear and paranoia is the luxury of the suburban leftists, the armchair intellectual, the graduate student, the uninvolved. The further away you are from the movement, the more scared you are. The Black Panthers aren't afraid. The yippies aren't afraid. The Viet Gong aren't afraid. In your living room, you're scared to death. In the middle of a riot, I've never found anybody who's scared. The way to eliminate fear is to do what you're afraid of. The goal of theater is to get as many people to overcome their fear, through action, as possible. We create reality wherever we go by living our fantasies.

This little recondite cut is found and often with references (both musical and Things have changed: John and on "Goodbye Cream" (Atco SD 7002) and lyrical) to previous 'hits'. The references to Paul haven't written together for two years is very pretty.

Paul's interest dates back the group is becoming more and more plans which I'm told I can't reveal, but he three or four years but he isn't a member. obvious in the group albums.

I heard an early take of "She Came they are absolutely perfect! The two heavy for many reasons. We used to write together In Through The Bathroom Window" back in numbers on side one are "Oh Darling" and mainly on tour and then there's a valid May. It was on reel 97 of the Nagra "I Want You" which show the Beatles can reason for it, but it got false: sort of, "Come recordings of "Get Back". The amount of do it better than everyone else and that they round to our house and we'll write some Beatle material is staggering, i • they ever like it; so do I and I'm sure that you will as songs" you know, just didn't work anymore. Miles: Do you find the songs change muc iles: W at s your concept of pure Beatle? when you record them? John: If I want to sound like "Come John: Oh Yeah.

I can say, "Give me this. Give me something because its progression to me. If I want to funky" and I set a beat maybe and they all write songs with no words or one word, then just join in. maybe that's Yoko's influence. But when it Whoever sings a Beatles song is the one gets d own to it, Bop-Bop-a-lula who wrote it. If they all sing as on Ba-lirn-barn-barn's great!
