men in red woolen shirts...

are getting incredible kicks
from things he'll never know.

Strange memories on
this nervous night in Las Vegas.
:55:15
Has it been five years ? Six ?
:55:20
It seems like a lifetime, the kind
of peak that never comes again.
:55:25
~ Love is but
a song we're singin' ~
:55:28
San Francisco
in the middle '60s...
:55:31
was a very special time and place
to be a part of...
:55:35
- but no explanation...
- ~ We can make the mountains ring ~
:55:38
no mix of words
or music or memories...
:55:40
can touch that sense of knowing
that you were there and alive...
:55:43
in that corner of time in the world,
whatever it meant.
:55:47
~ Though the bird
is on the wing ~
:55:51
~ And you may not
know why ~
:55:57
There was madness
in any direction...
:55:59
- ~ Come on, people, now ~
- at any hour.
:56:01
- ~ Smile on your brothers ~
- You could strike sparks anywhere.
:56:03
~ Everybody get together ~
:56:06
- ~ Try to love one another ~
- There was a fantastic
universal sense...
:56:08
that whatever we were doing was right,
that we were winning.
:56:11
And that, I think,
was the handle.
:56:14
~ Some may come
and some may go ~
:56:16
That sense
of inevitable victory...
:56:18
over the forces
of old and evil.
:56:19
Not in any mean or military sense--
we didn't need that.
:56:25
Our energy
would simply prevail.
:56:27
We had all the momentum.
:56:31
We were riding the crest
of a high and beautiful wave.
:56:36
- So now, less than five years later...

:56:41
you can go up a steep hill
in Las Vegas and look west...
:56:44
and with the right kind
of eyes...
:56:47
you can almost see
the high-water mark...
:56:50
that place where the wave
finally broke...
:56:53
and rolled back.
:56:55
- ~ Try to love one another right now ~
