0:01:18 > 0:01:22I can feel it in the air that there's something great going on all around.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26And, uh, I'm just...

0:01:26 > 0:01:29I have a feeling that I'm just missing it.

0:01:29 > 0:01:35That it's just right there and I'm right in the midst of it, but I can't quite get it.

0:01:35 > 0:01:41# "Let us be lovers We'll marry our fortunes together"

0:01:43 > 0:01:48# "I've got some real estate Here in my bag"

0:03:30 > 0:03:34HE HUMS MELODY

0:03:34 > 0:03:36It just doesn't sound good.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42If you're in the harmony game, you learn to scorn harmonies like that.

0:03:43 > 0:03:46The harmony game.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50- That's not a bad -- Beethoven...

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Beethoven's, uh...

0:03:55 > 0:04:00- ..200th birthday's coming up. Did you know that?- No.- 1970.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02What, next Thursday?

0:04:02 > 0:04:07- No, 1970. December, 1970. It's over a year away.- Uh-huh.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I'm just telling ya. I don't want you to get...

0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Caught short.- Caught from behind. - Are you getting him anything?- No.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18The reason I'm saying this is because of the harmony thing.

0:04:18 > 0:04:21There was this, uh, there was this...

0:04:21 > 0:04:24Beethoven was writing this part

0:04:24 > 0:04:30and parallel fifths were scorned, ironically.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34- Right? You know he wrote in parallel fifths?- Right.

0:04:36 > 0:04:40So the guy said, "You wrote that in parallel fifths?"

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Beethoven said...

0:04:44 > 0:04:49.."Where is there a law that says you can't write in parallel fifths?

0:04:49 > 0:04:50"Where did that law come from?"

0:04:50 > 0:04:54So he says, "This guy and this guy and this guy said it."

0:04:54 > 0:04:57So Beethoven says,

0:04:57 > 0:05:00"I say that you can!"

0:05:02 > 0:05:05"While I'm writing in parallel fifths, I say you can!"

0:05:08 > 0:05:10He was a fool - Beethoven.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16Somebody else's 200th birthday is coming up in not so long.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20- 200th birthday?- Yes. - Who is that?- America's.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06I forget how much I rely on...

0:09:06 > 0:09:10..the fact that you can make sound without being seen.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12You can create pictures without being seen.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16That's how I write, with pictures,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00Each person feels as though it's his private vision

0:19:00 > 0:19:06that the quality of life should be better and less confusing and simpler and more natural.

0:19:09 > 0:19:13Every time people get a chance to come together,

0:19:13 > 0:19:16it's an uplifting feeling.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20When all of those kids went up to Woodstock,

0:19:20 > 0:19:22you had 300,000 kids at Woodstock,

0:19:22 > 0:19:26there was a great joy of having 300,000 people

0:19:26 > 0:19:29who were related by something,

0:19:29 > 0:19:31by the urge to go to Woodstock,

0:19:31 > 0:19:36or by their age or by the music or something.

0:19:36 > 0:19:40The feeling of belonging is very strong at those times.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43This issue, which, up until that point,

0:19:43 > 0:19:46you may have felt impotent to deal with,

0:19:46 > 0:19:49now at least you feel, "I can touch it,

0:19:49 > 0:19:52"along with these hundreds of thousands of others,

0:19:52 > 0:19:58"and therefore, I'm hopeful. It keeps hope alive."

0:20:49 > 0:20:51# Parsley, sage

0:20:51 > 0:20:53# Rosemary and thyme...

0:20:53 > 0:20:58# Washes the ground With so many tears...

0:20:58 > 0:21:02# Between the salt water And the sea strands...

0:21:02 > 0:21:06# A soldier cleans and polishes a gun...

0:22:17 > 0:22:22# A true love of mine #

0:22:29 > 0:22:31It's very easy to lose sight of what it means

0:22:31 > 0:22:34for a bullet to come into another person's insides

0:22:34 > 0:22:38and for a man to be killed by somebody else's gun.

0:22:38 > 0:22:41For a man to be out in...

0:22:41 > 0:22:46He's home, he's in Iowa one day, and the next day, he's in a state that...

0:22:46 > 0:22:49he's supposed to feel...

0:22:49 > 0:22:51He's supposed to feel, "This is worth it.

0:22:51 > 0:22:54"For me to be in this bush now, trying to kill that guy

0:22:54 > 0:22:57"and be in the position where this guy could kill me,

0:22:57 > 0:23:01"I'm supposed to feel this all makes sense to me and it's worth it.

0:23:01 > 0:23:02"I'm fighting for something

0:23:02 > 0:23:05"that makes it worth me being in this state."

0:23:05 > 0:23:08It's...incredible.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13- I mean -- I think, though, much of what we say,

0:23:13 > 0:23:18if not all of what we're saying, is extremely obvious.

0:23:18 > 0:23:23As obvious that it is that, uh, we shouldn't be in Vietnam,

0:23:23 > 0:23:29or as obvious as it is that people are starving in this country and...

0:23:29 > 0:23:33Or as obvious as it is that there's inequality in this country.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37And maybe, as annoying as it is to hear it,

0:23:37 > 0:23:41it has to be said, until they stop the war,

0:23:41 > 0:23:46until they feed the people, until they make...

0:45:42 > 0:45:45MUSIC: "America"

0:45:51 > 0:45:53# "Let us be lovers

0:45:53 > 0:45:58"We'll marry our fortunes together"

0:46:00 > 0:46:05# "I've got some real estate Here in my bag"

0:46:05 > 0:46:07# Ooh, ooh

0:46:07 > 0:46:12# So we bought a pack of cigarettes

0:46:12 > 0:46:15# And Mrs Wagner pies

0:46:15 > 0:46:18# And walked off

0:46:18 > 0:46:23# To look for America... #

0:46:24 > 0:46:26People from so many different countries came here

0:46:26 > 0:46:29and made this conglomeration.

0:46:29 > 0:46:33We're like, we're shy children, we have to look around and say,

0:46:33 > 0:46:37"There's a Chinese kid in my class, there's a black boy, there's a..."

0:46:37 > 0:46:39Our group is so varied

0:46:39 > 0:46:45and here we are together, and we have to warm up slowly.

0:46:45 > 0:46:49We look at each other under our brows,

0:46:49 > 0:46:51sort of embarrassed about, uh...

0:46:53 > 0:46:57I think we all see the, uh...

0:46:57 > 0:47:01..the value of getting together.

0:47:01 > 0:47:04Here we are, we have this country, we can, uh...

0:47:04 > 0:47:08..we can do great things.

0:47:08 > 0:47:14We have a spotlight on us. We have the power to do great things.

0:47:14 > 0:47:17And I think we all feel that

0:47:17 > 0:47:22it's tremendously valuable for us to fuse, but it's very difficult.

0:47:22 > 0:47:26All human beings have, uh,

0:47:26 > 0:47:29this wish to take their inner self

0:47:29 > 0:47:34and fuse it with the rest of humanity.

0:47:34 > 0:47:36And in-so-far as they are unable to do that,

0:47:36 > 0:47:40they are constantly reminded of this obstacle.

0:47:40 > 0:47:43They defend it, they find reasons to keep their isolation

0:47:43 > 0:47:48as a necessary ingredient of their beliefs or whatever,

0:47:48 > 0:47:50but it's not true to what they feel.

0:48:01 > 0:48:05# Hello, darkness, my old friend

0:48:05 > 0:48:10# I've come to talk with you again

0:48:10 > 0:48:16# Because a vision softly creeping

0:48:16 > 0:48:21# Left its seeds while I was sleeping

0:48:21 > 0:48:24# And the vision

0:48:24 > 0:48:29# That was planted in my brain

0:48:29 > 0:48:33# Still remains

0:48:33 > 0:48:36# Within the sound

0:48:36 > 0:48:39# Of silence

0:48:39 > 0:48:45BOTH: # In restless dreams I walked alone

0:48:45 > 0:48:50# Narrow streets of cobblestone

0:48:50 > 0:48:55# 'Neath the halo of a streetlamp

0:48:55 > 0:49:00# I turned my collar To the cold and damp

0:49:00 > 0:49:03# When my eyes were stabbed

0:49:03 > 0:49:07# By the flash of a neon light

0:49:08 > 0:49:10# That split the night

0:49:12 > 0:49:15# And touched the sound

0:49:15 > 0:49:18# Of silence

0:49:18 > 0:49:24# And the people bowed and prayed

0:49:24 > 0:49:29# To the neon god they made

0:49:29 > 0:49:34# And the sign flashed its warning

0:49:34 > 0:49:38# In the words that it was forming

0:49:38 > 0:49:42# And the sign said "The words of the prophets

0:49:42 > 0:49:47# "Are written on subway walls

0:49:47 > 0:49:50# "And tenement halls

0:49:50 > 0:49:57# "And whispered in the sounds

0:49:57 > 0:50:02# "Of silence" #
