1:07:01
I guess he had some kind of
idea in his head that...
1:07:04
...I will, by doing what I'm doing,
learn for myself how to live.
1:07:08
And that's what he wants me to do,
anyway.
1:07:10
So he, he can't understand
why I am the way I am...
1:07:12
...but he, he very much wants
me to be that way.
1:07:15
Because he knows that's
the only thing for me.
1:07:17
He started his trip when
he was four years old.
1:07:20
Really?
1:07:20
Nothing to do with drugs or anything?
1:07:23
Me, neither.
1:07:25
Do you think that's a cop-out or...?
1:07:27
l, I don't know. L, I used
to be into drugs and...
1:07:33
...I was very heavy on drugs, but...
1:07:35
...now it seems like
it's almost contrived.
1:07:37
It's like drugs and revolution
and the united front and all.
1:07:43
You know, I'm a human being and that's
all I want to be. And I don't...
1:07:47
...I don't want to have a mass change...
1:07:49
...because a mass change only brings
around mass insanity.
1:07:53
I just want to be myself and find
out, find a place where I can...
1:07:59
...maintain some kind of
balance within myself, you know.
1:08:03
I'm kind of like the Hamlet trip,
you know. To be or not to be.
1:08:06
Do you think you could ever communicate
with a guy like Nixon or Westmoreland?
1:08:09
I hope so.
1:08:11
They're doing their thing, aren't they?
1:08:13
I don't know. It's like they,
they're neurotic or psychotic or...
1:08:17
...having fun as they say in
Life Mag... I don't know.
1:08:20
They could say the same thing of you.
1:08:21
Yeah, right. But it's not true, because,
l, I don't need all that power, you know.
1:08:26
Where I can just, I can just sit
here right on this roadside...
1:08:29
...and l, I don't have to become
President of the United States.
1:08:31
And I don't have to go all that way up.
1:08:35
I don't have to make the climb.
1:08:37
Because there's nothing to climb for.
It's all sitting right here.
1:08:41
Do you have tickets to this thing?
1:08:43
No.
1:08:44
How are you going to get in?
1:08:49
I don't really know.
1:08:52
I figured, you know, once I got here...
1:08:54
...l'd see whatever happens
and go along with it.
1:08:58
It's like people that are nowhere
are coming here...
