GIVE PEACE A CHANCE.
External link:
Yesterday was John Lennon's birthday, so I went to Strawberry Fields in Central Park with Bryan C. There were about 30 people there, singing Beatles songs and such-like. Just as we got there, a woman was straightening a piece of paper that was on top of the "Imagine" mosaic, and this not-well-dressed hippie guy started yelling at her not to touch anything. She said she was just straightening out something that she had put down in the first place, and that he wasn't in charge of her. He said that he'd been coming to Strawberry Fields for 22 years, and that he was "the Mayor of Strawberry Fields", and that she'd better not touch anything. They argued back and forth in a way not at all in keeping with the spirit of the event, and eventually, she gathered up all the things she'd put down, which was about a third of the stuff there, and said she was going to get the police. We stayed for about ten minutes and sung along and left before she got the cops, if she ever did. This is The Official Record.
