It’s just the same, only I’m thirty, and a lot of people have got long hair. It just makes you puke, and I woke up to that too. Shit, they’re doing exactly the same thing, selling arms to South Africa, killing blacks on the street, people are living in fucking poverty, with rats crawling over them. We’ve grown up a little, all of us, there has been a change and we’re all a bit freer and all that, but it’s the same game. We all dressed up, the same bastards are in control, the same people are runnin’ everything.

I don’t know about the “history” the people who are in control and in power, and the class system and the whole bullshit bourgeoisie is exactly the same, except there is a lot of fag middle class kids with long, long hair walking around London in trendy clothes, and Kenneth Tynan is making a fortune out of the word “fuck.” Apart from that, nothing happened. What do you think the effect was of the Beatles on the history of Britain? If you don’t know, man, then there’s no pain that’s how I express it. I know it sounds silly – and I’d sooner be rich than poor, and all the rest of that shit – but I wish the pain was ignorance or bliss or something. One of my big things is that I wish to be a fisherman.
