One to One: John & Yoko (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Ladies and gentlemen,

John Lennon and Yoko Ono!

Power to the people

Power to the people

Power to the people

New York City

New York City

New York City

New York City

Qu pasa, New York?

Qu pasa, New York?

Whoo!

Good morning, folks.

Have you

had your breakfast yet?

K-double L-Y

I just want to open

the microphones to you

to say anything you want to

to New York City.

Well, uh, how you doing,

New York City?

It's a good old city, yes.

- It's a beautiful place.

- It's a beauty.

I just got to see

the Village for the first time,

and it's really a groove.

There was a nice guy singing

that the Pope smokes dope

and all those sort of songs

in Washington Square.

It was beautiful,

you know what I mean.

I really feel at home there.

Yes?

I'd like to ask

John a question.

Sure.

- John?

- Yeah?

I can't believe

I'm speaking to a myth.

- A myth?

- Yeah.

Myth World

or Myth Universe?

Can I speak

to Yoko, please?

- I'm here.

- Yoko?

- Yes.

- I thought

I'd tell you

that you're very beautiful.

Oh, that's very sweet of you.

I'm sure my husband loves that.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Recently I've been wondering

exactly how The Beatles

are as people.

Well, The Beatles

don't exist anymore.

I don't want to recreate

the past.

You know, I wanna be me now.

Right, well,

having you in New York, like,

- for the past week or so...

- Yeah.

...and listening to

you and Yoko on the radio...

- Yeah.

- ...it's really...

it's really hitting home that

you really are people,

you know.

I'm sitting here talking

with John and Yoko

on their bed.

This bed we inherited

from the previous owner

used to be a ch...

made out of church pews.

- Oh, I see.

- Isn't that fascinating?

So we're in a very holy bed

here, Howard,

and the three of us

are on the bed.

All dressed, of course.

We're very comfortable here,

especially like

having TV, you know,

- 24 hours a day or something.

- Suits me fine.

Suits me fine.

What are your

favorite programs?

I just like TV, you know.

To me it replaced the fireplace

when I was a child.

And if you want to know

what 20 million Americans

are talking about on

Saturday night,

it's what they saw

on Friday night on TV.

It's a window on the world.

Whatever it is, that's

that image of ourselves

that we're portraying.

Ain't nothing dead about us.

We ain't gonna die.

- 'Nough said.

- We are not dying here.

A very famous choral group

will now entertain us.

And if the music is square,

it's because I like it square.

President Nixon,

stop bombing human beings,

animals and vegetation.

You go to church on Sundays

and pray to Jesus Christ.

If Jesus Christ were

here tonight,

you would not dare

drop another b*mb.

Bless the Berrigans

and bless Daniel Ellsberg.

Ma! He's making eyes at me

Ma! He's awfully nice to me

See... see, um,

Nixon will find anything

he needs to enhance his power.

The fact is, is there's got to

be polarization in the country.

There's gotta be po... Wait,

listen. I get two sentences out,

and you act like

you're going to the toilet,

you know. It's "Uh, uh, uh, uh."

Listen, why don't you shut up

and let me talk.

You invited me down here,

you said,

"You've gotta come here. We have

no music, we have no guests.

If you don't come,

we have no guests."

Now you ask me a question,

you keep quiet.

Maybe the punchline will

contain your answer, you know?

- So don't be so constipated.

- I'm just...

Don't be so constipated.

"I'm just, I'm just."

Just relax.

- I'm disappointed. You're so...

- I'm disappointed in you.

You're so incapable of

functioning...

I'm totally incapable.

I'm a misfit.

Haven't you realized?

I'm a misfit.

I don't fit into

this plastic TV show

with this plastic TV

personality.

I don't fit into that.

Colored and permanent press.

I'm sorry.

Well, I've been using

this Clorox 2 All Fabric Bleach.

Maybe it'll work...

Here I am at Dylan's garbage.

It's quite a while after

the garbage article came out,

so I really don't expect to

find anything.

Hmm.

"Progresso Italian peeled

tomatoes."

Ah, not bad. Not bad.

"Thomas's English muffins."

That's a big plug

for Thomas's English muffins.

Let's see what else is there.

Clorox!

Dylan uses Clorox.

Oh, The Daily News.

The Daily News.

That makes a lot of sense.

Judging from Dylan's

politics lately,

he's been reading

the Daily News.

Let's see what else is there.

Uh, a syringe.

A needle.

- 8071.

- Is Howard there, please?

This is his service.

Oh, look, could you

tell him John Lennon called?

L-E-N-N-O-N.

Uh-huh.

- L-E-N-N-O-N.

- O-N.

Are you a member

of The Beatles?

- That's right, yeah.

- Oh, you are?

- Yeah.

- Oh. Okay, then.

He has my number.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

The attack

is still going on here

at Attica State Prison.

We've all been gassed.

I've been gassed.

It's an awful scene.

William Kunstler has said

that people are dying in

there, and...

I agree with that. I think

people are dying in there.

And the scene is...

I'm gonna cut this off.

The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour.

The queen...

I mean, the British press

actually called

Yoko ugly in the papers,

and I've never seen that

about any woman or man.

Even if a person is ugly,

you don't normally sort of say

it in the paper,

you know, "That ugly woman."

And she's not ugly.

And if she was,

you wouldn't be so mean.

They even say 'attractive' about

the most awful-looking people

just to be kind.

This is

a CBS News Special Report.

The President in China.

Here's a man

that I know very little about,

other than what I have read

in newspapers and magazines,

and what I have heard

on television.

And, quite honestly,

my feelings are quite negative.

But John wanted this young man

on the show.

- Who is it?

- It's Jerry Rubin.

Jerry Rubin, yeah.

What is the new Jerry Rubin

thinking about these days?

I'm glad you asked that.

Uh, we're gonna support

Nixon for president

because by going to China,

he's furthering

Communist revolutions

throughout the world.

I'm just kidding.

I'm really just kidding.

I'm really just kidding.

What he's really done is

automate the w*r in Vietnam

so that it's machines

k*lling people.

Created a situation

where 43 people

can be m*rder*d at Attica.

Um, created a situation

where four kids

can be k*lled at Kent State

and people are afraid, scared.

You really believe

he created that situation?

The atmosphere in the country

is one of just death.

The repression is so heavy

that anybody who does anything

gets arrested, jailed, k*lled.

That people are, like,

very pessimistic.

Wherever you go right now,

there's tremendous pessimism.

You mean youth in general,

whether they're radical

or anything. Just youth

in general. We noticed that.

But how do we change that,

you know?

- Because...

- I'm really not

the political type,

but I want to say something.

My parents came over here

and got married in this country.

They came to escape oppression

in Eastern Europe.

I did manage, with scholarships,

to go to college

and medical school.

And I became a professor,

and I became Surgeon General,

and I can't think of

any other country

where this could happen.

And I've

done a lot of travelling.

Wait a minute!

But that doesn't make us

the Indians.

It's the Indians who were here

first and who got wiped out.

Ask the Blacks who were

brought here as sl*ves.

Here come old flat top

He come grooving up slowly

He got juju eyeball

He one holy roller

He got hair

Down to his knee

Got to be a joker

'Cause he's so hard to please

sh**t me

sh**t me

sh**t me

sh**t me

He wear no shoeshine

He got walrus gumboot

He got h*nky finger

He sh**t Coca-Cola

He say, '"I know you

You know me"

One thing I can tell you

Is you got to be free

Come together

Right now

Over you

Just for a change.

sh**t me

He roller-coaster

He got early warnin'

He got muddy water

He one mojo filter

He say, "One and one

And one is three"

Got to be good lookin'

'Cause he's so hard to see

Come together

Right now

Stop the w*r

sh**t me

sh**t me

Come together

Come together

Come together, hey

Come together, hey

Come together

Journalist:

...a spontaneous

and unrehearsed news interview

with George Wallace,

former governor of Alabama,

questioned by CBS news

correspondent Martin Agronsky.

Governor,

you've repeatedly

objected to being

called a r*cist.

Yes, sir.

You don't regard

yourself as a r*cist?

No, sir, I don't

regard myself as a r*cist,

and I think the biggest racists

in the world

are those who call other

folks r*cist.

Open the gate

Put your right foot here

Just stand up straight

When you buy it clear

Walk in, America

I don't think you have

to even consider it art.

You can just consider it

what it is.

- It's communication.

- Communication. Right.

"Wash your bottom

with fresh water after

depositing night soil on earth."

"Don't spread merde

round your behind

with toilet tissue

torn from trees.

Arabs wash with left hand,

eat with right.

Indians use brass lota

to pour water down crack

and wash fingers clean.

Only US honkies smear faeces

'twixt their buttocks

with clean paper.

Nixon in underwear.

Kissinger, Goldwater in shorts.

Mrs. Roosevelt,

late in her bloomers.

Judges, senators and US Federal

Reserve bank presidents

most have smelly, moist behinds

unfit for love play...

...soiled underclothes

that stick and all make w*r.

Few can relax their sphincters

and sit easy.

Carry plastic cup to washroom

and clean your behind

like the mass of mankind."

Sculpture by Yoko Ono and Allen

Ginsberg, October 8th, 1971.

A new hat, or rather a bonnet,

was tossed into the Democratic

presidential race today,

that of Mrs. Shirley Chisholm,

the first Black woman

to serve in Congress.

How do you do?

I'm Shirley Chisholm.

How are you? How are you?

How do you do?

I'm Shirley Chisholm.

I'm Shirley Chisholm,

how are you?

I'm Shirley Chisholm.

How are you doing?

- God bless you, darling.

- Thank you.

- God bless you.

- Thank you so much.

Thank you. Thank you.

How are you?

Fine, fine, thank you. Fine.

You have the courage

of your conviction,

which very few others have.

Thank you very much.

So the very best of luck

to you, my dear.

I appreciate it

deeply, thank you.

The hold-up man

remained inside the bank.

Then, bizarrely, the g*nman,

John Wojtowicz,

asked that his h*m* lover

be brought to him.

The lover arrived from

a local psychiatric hospital,

but he refused to go inside.

...to teach the world...

World's smallest

electronic calculator by Sharp.

Price tag to match.

3, 45.

All right, give me some cover!

Duvalier is the lone medic

in the platoon. He's scared...

scared that someday

he's going to get k*lled

- picking up a wounded buddy.

- Get him back here

if you can.

Can you move him?

Stop the bleeding!

- Hello?

- Hello.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

This is like a dream,

seeing 15,000 people

in one place demanding

freedom for John Sinclair.

And it'll be...

And it'll be impossible

for the judges

to keep him

in jail for ten years

for smoking a flower.

This rally is gonna be the first

of prison rallies

all across this country

demanding that

they lay down the bars

and let all the prisoners out!

But there are...

There are a lot of problems.

There's a whole lot of slander

going on about Bob Dylan,

when Bob Dylan was the person

who formed our consciousness.

And Bob... It was Bob Dylan's

music and poetry

is the reason that

we're here, you know?

So we gotta go back

into this rally

and not only free John Sinclair,

but free the 200,000

Black people in jail.

Free all the people in jail.

Defeat Nixon.

Really end the Vietnam w*r

and the sick system

that poisons our stomachs

with this lousy food,

and build a revolutionary

movement.

Good night, Bernadine,

wherever you are.

John Lennon, Yoko Ono!

We came here to say

to all of you

that apathy isn't it,

and that we can do something.

Okay, so flower power didn't

work. So what?

We start again.

This song I wrote

for John Sinclair.

Okay, "John Sinclair,"

nice and easy now.

Sneaky.

One, two. One, two, three, four.

It ain't fair,

John Sinclair

In the stir

For breathin' air

Won't you care for

John Sinclair?

In the stir

For breathin' air

Let him be, set him free

Let him be like you and me

They gave him ten for two

What else can

Judge Columba do?

We gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta

Gotta, gotta,

Gotta set him free

- Hello?

- John:

- Yeah!

- John:

Yes. Yes. Yeah.

I don't know, man.

They just sort of told me to go.

Yippee!

Hey!

Hi. Good.

I know.

Yeah. Yeah.

Right. Right.

It's beautiful. It was

a victory, man, just like that.

Yeah, right.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Because we can really

do it, see?

Our God is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

Glory, glory, hallelujah!

His truth is marching on

Spaghetti is superb

topped with Rag.

Meat loaf, out of this world.

"Rockefeller

Pulled the trigger"

That is what

The people feel

Attica State, Attica State

We're all mates

With Attica State

I can't remember the last verse.

I've forgotten the rest.

Okay, shall we start?

Yeah, okay. So, John...

Hey, Yoko, take

your legs out of bed

so you don't look

like you're in bed.

The main thing that Yoko

and I are doing,

and Jerry, and all the people

we're involved with,

is to change the apathy

that all the youth have.

We must get them excited

about what we can do again,

and that's why we're gonna

go on the road,

speak to them, sing to them

and do anything to get

them alive again.

And that's our job,

and that will...

From America, it will spread

to the rest of the world.

Viva la revolucin.

Yes, they've looked down their

nose at you and me a long time.

They've called us rednecks,

the Republicans

and the Democrats.

Well, we're going to show

that there sure are

a lot of rednecks

in this country,

and when they get together...

You're gonna

Make it after all

Yoko had a child in America, and

her first husband was American.

After the divorce,

the relationship was all right

between us and Mr. Cox,

and we had Kyoko,

and then he had her,

and it was fine.

But one day, something happened

and we just didn't see her.

And Yoko hasn't seen her child

for two years.

For two years we've been chasing

him all over the world.

Snow, don't worry,

Don't worry

Don't worry, don't worry

Don't worry, don't worry

Don't worry, don't worry

Don't worry, don't worry

Don't worry, don't worry

If Kyoko is watching, I'd like

you to know that I love you.

And if you miss me at all,

you could try to reach me.

AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ Weberman

AJ, AJ, AJ, AJ Weberman

Bob Dylan's not your enemy

He's just your friend

You are just a Dylanologist

One day, AJ went to

Bleecker and MacDougal Street

Looking through

Bob Dylan's garbage can

He found a letter that Dylan

Wrote to Johnny Cash

Another thing

For rock interpretation

Dylan said to Weberman

"Who the hell are you?

Why do you

Always bother me?'"

Excuse me, we're doing a survey,

so to speak,

on your reaction to the

president's speech last night.

What do you think about

the president?

I thought it was wonderful.

- You approve?

- Yes.

I am 100 percent behind him.

He should have done it

three years ago.

I didn't think he had

much choice.

I think it was a necessary

decision,

and he's got a lot of guts.

It's insane what's occurring.

Bombing of the dikes?

This w*r is being turned

into more than a criminal w*r.

It's being turned into more

of a genocide.

I think someone's going to have

to develop a new word.

I think it's terrible.

I think he's sick.

Instant karma's

Gonna get you

It's gonna knock you right

On the head

You better

Get yourself together

Pretty soon

You're gonna be dead

What in the world

You trying to do?

Laughing in

The face of love

And who on earth do you

Think you are?

A superstar?

Well, how right you are

Instant karma's

Gonna get you

It's gonna knock you right

Off your feet

You'd better get yourself

Together, darling

And join the human race

Why in the world

Are we here?

Surely not to live in

Pain and fear

Why on earth are you there?

Vote!

'Cause you're everywhere

Come and get your share

Well, we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars

And the sun

Yeah, we all shine on

On and on

On and on

Yeah, we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars

And the sun

Yeah, we all shine on

On and on and on

Yeah, we all shine on

Like the moon and the stars

And the sun

Yeah, we all shine on

On and on and on and on

And on and on and on

You are going to die.

Your parents are going to die.

Your grandparents

may already be dead.

Every generation dies.

And I read an interesting

statement the other day

that w*r does not increase

death at all.

And I thought about it,

what a strange statement.

That w*r does not increase

death. Why?

Because death is total

in every generation.

Here is a generation of

young people.

I don't know how many people

are here at this moment,

but there's tens of thousands

of us here.

This whole generation of you

sitting before me right now

are going to die.

Peace now!

Peace now! Peace now!

Peace now!

Peace now! Peace now!

We need John

to help us rise up

like a hurricane,

to sweep this man Nixon and his

w*r-makers into the sea.

We need John.

Okay, we ain't used to speaking,

but we all know why we're here.

We're here to bring

the boys home.

But let's not forget

the machines.

Bring the machines home,

and then

we really get somewhere.

It's a washer and dryer.

A Delta Airlines jet

from Detroit to Miami

was taken over

by eight passengers

who demanded

one million dollars

and a one-way trip to Algeria,

what is believed to be

the largest ransom

in the history of

hijacks to date.

The agent selected to hand over

the cash to the hijackers

was dressed in just his

under shirt and bathing trunks.

Well,

that was quite some story,

but you had quite an experience

along with that, didn't you?

I had an experience.

The authorities down there

obstructed us at every turn.

At one point they tried to grab

my camera,

and, as a newsman,

I had to refuse.

That's a Department

of Public Safety officer

trying to wrestle the camera.

Sergeant Cleverly.

This officer is the one

that now has me on the ground

when, uh, we were going to air.

That foot belongs

to Jessica Savitch,

and always one to stand up

for freedom of the press.

She's giving you

a little help there.

Jessi did give me

a little help.

Ono's like Irish too, right?

O-apostrophe-no.

And now,

we'd like to do a little song...

We're showing all of you harm...

- Just once more this one, John.

- Yoko Ono.

- Once more. Just this line.

- Okay.

If you could make chains

With the morning dew

The world would be like

Galway Bay

If you walk over rainbows

Like leprechauns

The world would be one big

Blarney Stone

That's nice.

Do it again.

If you could make chains

With the morning dew

The world would be like

Galway Bay

If you walk over rainbows

Like leprechauns

The world would be one big

Blarney Stone

How do you spell, "Aye, aye"?

You know, when you say,

"Aye, aye, genocide."

It's not a capital I,

and it's not E-Y-E.

"Aye, aye, captain", and that.

How do you spell

"aye, aye" in a ways?

A-Y-E?

- Oh yeah. That's it.

Did you know Joey Gallo?

I know him, yeah.

Um...

- Did you like him?

- Sure.

- Why? Why?

- He's a good guy.

Why do you say he

was a good guy?

He tried to help

everybody around here.

Were you surprised

at the k*lling this morning?

Sure.

Do you think

it was a gangland k*lling?

I don't know.

Do you think

that then anybody is going

to do anything

about the k*lling?

I don't know.

It's quiet

out here on President Street,

Joey Gallo's turf.

In fact, it's too quiet.

Joey Gallo was a hero out here.

Speculation has it that his

k*lling might start a g*ng w*r,

if it hasn't already begun.

John Johnson, ABC News,

New York.

...'partment.

Hello?

One of the most

fascinating and exotic stories

ever to come out

of Washington, D.C.

is the talk of

the capital today.

Five men were arrested

early Saturday

while trying to install

eavesdropping equipment

at the Democratic National

Committee.

And it turns out

that one of them has an office

in the headquarters of

the Committee

for the Re-election

of the President.

The central

mystery still remains.

What were those

men after at the Watergate?

Who sent them?

How were they paid?

What's making the Republicans

nervous

is it's beginning

to look as though

some members of the president's

re-election committee

may know the answers.

Lesley Stahl, CBS News,

Washington.

You ain't nothin'

But a hound dog

Cryin' all the time

You ain't nothin'

But a hound dog

Cryin' all the time

You ain't never

Caught a rabbit

You ain't no friend of mine

Well, they said that you

Was high-class

That was just a lie

They said that you was

High-class

That was just a lie

You ain't never

Caught a rabbit

And you ain't

What's happening

with Capitol Records

is really indicative

of what's happening

to our culture.

It's being taken over by people

who value profits

more than they do human life.

You know, I think it's a crime

to have millions of dollars'

worth of surplus wealth

when there are people

who have absolutely nothing.

The real heroes of this society

aren't the rock stars

but the revolutionaries.

That's... You know, that's about

the story at Capitol Records.

Starting from this day,

we're going to work to free

every political prisoner

and every oppressed person

in this country

and in the whole world.

That's all I have to say.

Eat your Frosted Flakes

They're great!

And don't be late for school.

Aw, Tony.

Please don't worry about me.

I am healthy

and well provided for.

Please let me know about John.

He or she is almost 4 now,

and I have no information

about birthday, sex,

growth and development,

et cetera.

I suppose now he or she

is old enough

to understand

where Daddy is,

and that I love him or her

immeasurably

despite our never meeting.

I calculate that T-Bird

is now in second grade,

unless she started early.

And I know she is doing well.

She is a grown-up lady now,

and I hope you have plans for

piano or ballet lessons soon.

Happy eighth birthday,

dear T-Bird,

and Merry Christmas.

His optimism

about the whole situation

amazes me.

I'm just very happy

that he can't see

this morning's newspaper.

This government

has almost no commitment

to the prisoners of w*r

except in a very incidental way.

They've renewed the bombing,

of course.

In fact, the w*r itself

is being escalated.

Gone, baggy knees

and wrinkly ankles.

Our L'eggs fit your legs

Any FBI agents here,

by the way?

They'd better be here

to protect this government.

Come on.

You're damn right

I'm a communist.

Any name they call me,

you know.

"Anarchist", good word.

There's no word they got,

you know.

"You don't take baths."

I haven't taken a bath

in six months.

Because we are the exact

opposite of what they are.

We're the exact opposite

of white, middle-class,

Christian, capitalist society.

We are its opposite.

They have created monsters

that are gonna overthrow them.

The United States today

told former Beatle John Lennon

to leave the country in 60 days,

or he will be deported.

Lennon was convicted

of marijuana possession

in Britain five years ago.

What did you say? You said

you felt it was shocking?

Well, yeah, we're a bit shocked,

you know.

Do you think

that you will be deported?

I've no idea. Maybe it's just

a process. I don't know.

You want to stay here?

- We'd love to stay here.

- Why?

Well, we love it.

And also our child is here,

and we're still trying

to find her.

And we were given

temporary custody in Texas.

On the grounds that...

On the grounds that the child

would stay in America.

And we also wish to stay

in America.

And we'd like to stay

preferably in New York.

Does that mean you're seeking

permanent citizenship?

- Yes, we are.

- Thank you, John.

It's a pleasure.

Good night and thank you.

I mean good day.

Okay, thank you.

You missed the bit where

the hard hat gave me the V sign.

John Lennon, Yoko Ono

New York City

Are your people

John Lennon, Yoko Ono

New York City

Are your people

John Lennon, Yoko Ono

New York City

Is your friend

Get the best

In New York City

You've met the people

On the streets

Walk in, America

Walk in, America

Walk in, walk in, walk in,

Walk in to...

One of

the film world's great figures,

Charlie Chaplin, arrived

in New York today

for his first visit

to the United States

in nearly 20 years.

Although most Americans

remember

Chaplin's comic genius,

relatively few recall

the controversy

that has kept him

away from this country

for close to two decades.

His sympathy

for the Soviet Union

and his jokes

about this country

were too much

for some bureaucrats.

The Justice Department

revoked his visa,

and he couldn't come back.

People forgot

that Chaplin poked fun

at all kinds of stupidity.

And his words

still have meaning today.

Soldiers, don't fight

for sl*very. Fight for liberty.

In the seventeenth chapter

of St. Luke it is written,

"The kingdom of God

is within man,

not one man

nor a group of men,

but in all men."

And you,

you the people have the power,

the power to create machines,

the power to create happiness.

You the people have the power

to make this life free

and beautiful.

Why do feel that Uncle Sam

is trying to force you

to leave this country,

which you now say you love?

There's a whisper campaign

going around against us.

"Don't you know

they're financing a revolution?"

"Don't you know

they're going down

to disrupt the Republican

convention?"

- Are you financing anything?

- Not at all.

I've never financed anything

that has anything

to do with violence.

Well, ladies and gentlemen,

it's a sad day in our country

when you go to Washington

and they say,

"Don't walk a hundred feet

away from your hotel.

Don't get in an elevator unless

you have someone with you."

It's not even safe in the shadow

of the White House,

or in Baltimore,

or any other large city

in the United States.

This morning

at a Wheaton, Maryland,

shopping center,

the hecklers were out in force.

They were quite young

and for the most part not mean,

although three oranges,

some pennies

and some paper airplanes

were hurled at the governor

as he spoke.

Now, Governor Wallace

has just been shot.

- What is your reaction?

- To that?

I could care less.

Disturbed.

I consider it most unfortunate.

Watching his rhetoric,

it's so heated and divisive,

I think that it was...

I feared several months ago that

something would happen to him.

- Morning.

- Good morning.

- How are you?

- Fine.

Miss Chisholm,

how did the governor look?

Of course,

he seems a little weak,

but I think his spirits

are high, his morale is high.

And it was a very,

very pleasant visit.

How soon

do you think there might be

a reconciliation

between Black Americans

and George Wallace?

Well, I...

Well, I don't know.

I don't know, I think, you know,

we just have to realize

that this country's going

through a very turbulent period.

The sooner all of us try to get

together and recognize

that there is enough room

in America

for every person regardless

of race, creed, or color,

the better it's going to be

for all of us.

If not, this constant malaise

that hangs over this country

is going to eventually

destroy all of us.

Okay, so we'd like

to invite everyone

to come on down to Miami,

August 20th,

to confront Nixswine

and the rest of the mass

murderers, Adolph Nixswine.

How many people

would you expect would join

your counter-convention

in Miami Beach?

Uh, crowds should reach

Woodstock's proportions.

Half a million, I would say.

Half a million easily.

Locked in freshness

Tupperware

Really locks it in

You can see

and buy Tupperware

at a Tupperware party.

I think it's shocking

if you're being deported,

and it's ironic that it would

happen in the same year

that Chaplin was given

an award after 20 years of...

20 years after

- a similar kind of nonsense.

- Mm-hm.

They think we're going to Miami,

whatever it is.

We've never said we're going.

We ain't going.

We're not going.

There'll be

no big jam with us and Dylan

because there's too

much going on.

We never said we were going,

and that's it.

President Nixon

comes to Miami Beach tonight

to accept his re-nomination.

Right at the moment, however,

there is a story outside,

and that's the story of

the demonstrators.

Temperature's rising

Fever is high

Can't see no future

Can't see no sky

My heart is so heavy

So is my head

They're revolutionaries,

that's what they are.

They're not listening.

I wish I was a baby

I wish I was dead

Cold turkey

You know it's got me

On the run

Body is aching

Goose-pimple bone

I can't see nobody

Leave me alone

Oh, I'll be a good boy

Please make me well

I promise you anything

Get me out

Of this hell, whoa

Cold turkey

You know it's got me

On the run

...accept your nomination for

president of the United States.

No! No! No! No! No!

No! No! No! No! No!

No, no, no!

Oh! No, no, no!

Oh! Oh, no, no, no

This is a group session

in primal therapy.

The idea is to go back,

uncover the hurts of childhood,

relive them,

and free the real you.

The dream that so many

people have

that, somehow, something out

there is going to transform us

and make life beautiful, whether

it's fame or riches or whatever.

And you find out...

People find out that there's

nothing in life

but you, you see?

That's all there is, you see?

And when you can feel,

that's all there is.

To feel life,

to feel the life you're living.

We might one day duplicate man,

his form, his actions

carefully engineered.

Your father left you

and your mother

at a very tender age,

and you were raised by an aunt.

I was raised by my auntie.

My father and my mother split

when I was about four.

I had... I spent some time

with Mother up to about four,

then my father split.

He was a merchant seaman,

you know, you can imagine,

and it was 1940s

in the w*r and all that.

And he left, and I was

brought up by an auntie.

And then when I was 16,

I re-established a relationship

with my mother.

She taught me music.

She first of all taught me

the banjo,

and from that

I progressed to guitar.

The first song I learned

was "Ain't That A Shame,"

an old rock hit, Fats Domino.

And then, unfortunately,

she was run over by an off-duty

policeman who was drunk.

But it was very hard for me

at that time,

and I really had a chip on

my shoulder.

And it still comes out

now and then, you know,

because it's

a strange life to lead.

Mother

You had me

I never had you

I wanted you

You didn't want me

So I

I just gotta tell you

Goodbye

Goodbye

Father

You left me

I never left you

I needed you so bad

You didn't need me

Oh, no

So I

I just gotta tell you

Goodbye

Goodbye

Children

Don't do

What I have done

I couldn't walk

And I tried to run

So I

I just gotta tell you

Goodbye

Goodbye

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

Mama, don't go

Daddy, come home

The doctor invited me to see the

conditions he was talking about.

So, unannounced and unexpected

by the school administration,

we toured Building Number Six.

There was one attendant

for perhaps 50 severely

and profoundly

Ret*rded children.

Lying on the floor naked and

smeared with their own faeces

they were making

a pitiful sound,

a kind of mournful wail

that it's impossible

for me to forget.

There are 5,300 patients

at Willowbrook,

which is

the largest institution

for the mentally

Ret*rded in the world,

sitting on the ward all day,

not going to school,

sharing the same toilet,

contracting the same diseases.

One hundred percent of patients

at Willowbrook contract

hepatitis.

There are so few attendants

that there is only

three minutes

per child for feeding.

How much time

would be needed

to do a job adequately?

The same amount of time

that your children

or my children

would want to have to

eat breakfast.

What's the consequence

of three minutes

per meal per child?

The consequence

is death from pneumonia.

Their life is just hours

and hours

of endless nothing to do,

no one to talk to.

Just an endless life of

misery and filth.

Why would you

do a concert for free?

Because it's important,

and these children are like

almost symbolic of all

the pain on earth.

And if we can help them

in any way,

well, it's a start, you know?

Where do you start?

David Peel,

the chorus at the beginning

joins in with that

tape of power,

if the tape works.

So they should be there

from the start, you know?

And then just wait in line.

That's all.

And the other side, the same.

All Willowbrook supervisors,

please move your group

over to the line,

in front of the area

where the first

will pull into the tie.

In a straight line...

I often say God's blessed them,

and that He

can use everything...

Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people

Living for today

Ah

Imagine there's

No countries

It isn't hard to do

Nothing to k*ll or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people

Living life in peace

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday

You'll join us

And the world

Will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if we can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood

and sisterhood of man

Imagine all the people

Sharing all the world

You

You may say I'm a dreamer

But I'm not the only one

I hope someday

You'll join us

And the world

Will live as one

All those in favor, say "aye."

Aye!

All those opposed, "no."

No!

The noes have it.

Minority Report Number 8

is not adopted.

That was the report

to end discrimination

against h*m*.

It was turned down.

Bob, are you still there?

Walter, we are still here,

and perhaps you didn't

see us at first

because Mr. Ginsberg has moved

into a meditating position

as we were awaiting the vote.

Mr. Ginsberg, the resolution

was just turned down.

How do you feel about that?

Maybe in four years,

the American public will likely

be ready to say "Ah"

and sigh a sigh of relief

and allow a similar platform

in the next presidentiad.

"Ah", accepting the defeat of

the h*m* minority blank.

"Ah",

for McGovern's peacefulness.

"Ah", let Nixon retire

from office quietly.

"Ah", let the w*r

in Vietnam be over.

"Ah", let America relax.

Okay, Walter, I don't know

what I could add to that.

Do you have a question

or something?

Say "ah."

Yes,

I was gonna say Bob Schieffer,

for your work

down there on the floor, "Ah".

Okay.

Walter Cronkite

said, "Ah."

- "Ah".

- "Ah".

That's so sharp

you can hardly focus.

I'm just trusting

it's all right.

Well, this is the fourth

and final day

of Jockanese's trip round

Maine, USA,

and may we say it's been

wonderful, extremely wonderful.

Well, here we are

in wonderful Cambridge.

This is the actual Harvard...

What am I doing?

Harvard building.

It's the Harvard

Divinity School.

Yes,

and as you can see, it's divine.

And over there

is Yoko trying to find out...

Talking

to some of the women.

...where the women's

meeting is.

Here we are, folks.

What happened to me was

that I was living as an artist

and had relative freedom

as a woman,

and was considered a b*tch

in this society.

Since I met John,

I was upgraded into a witch,

and I was...

And I think that

that's very flattering.

Society suddenly treated me

as a woman

who belonged to a man

who is one of the most powerful

people in our generation.

And some of his closest friends

told me that probably I should

stay in the background,

I should shut up,

I should give up my work,

and that way I'll be happy.

Because the whole society

started to attack me,

the whole society wished

me dead,

I started to stutter.

I consider myself

a very eloquent woman,

and also an attractive woman.

And, suddenly, because I was

associated to John,

I was considered an ugly woman,

ugly Jap who took

your monument away from you.

That's when I realized

how hard it is for women.

If I can start to stutter,

being a strong woman,

it is a very hard road.

Age 39

Looking over

From my hotel window

Blue dots and red dots

Skating away in the park

I used to be there

20 years ago

Huffing over a mug of

Hot chocolate drink

Age 39

Looking over

From my hotel window

Wondering if one should

Jump off or go to sleep

People tell you

Up is better than down

But they never tell you

Which is up

And which is down

Age 39

Feeling pretty suicidal

The weight gets heavier

When you've bled 30 years

Show me your blood, John

And I'll show you mine

They say it's running

Even when we're asleep

No trace of resentment

No trace of regrets

One blood's thinner

But both look red and fresh

If I ever die

Please go to my daughter

And tell her

That she used to

Haunt me in my dreams

That's saying a lot

For a neurotic like me

Age 39

Looking over

From a hotel window

Trying to tackle away

With heart of clay

The weight gets lighter

When there's

Nowhere to turn

God's little dandruff

Floating in the air

Age 39

Looking over the world

Age 39

Floating over the world

Floating

Alone

And President Nixon is

well on the way

towards the predicted

landslide re-election.

At the present trend,

it would be a record landslide

for the

Republication president.

Well, in Washington,

President Nixon's number one

domestic affairs advisor

is John Ehrlichman,

and David Schoumacher is

with him now.

Howard, he feels too good.

I'm gonna ask him

whatever happened to Watergate?

I don't know.

I don't know.

Apparently nothing.

Four more years!

Four more years!

Four more years!

Four more years!

Four more years!

Based on the results

I have seen today,

we have accomplished what was

thought to be the impossible.

We've not only won a majority

of the votes of America,

but we've won a majority of

the votes of young Americans.

Well, you can do a few long

shots as well, can't you?

Because we can always

cut out the...

Perfect.

All we are saying

Come on, it's your turn.

Give peace a chance

All we're saying

Is give peace a chance

All we are saying

Give peace a chance

All we're saying

No more w*r

No more four years

Give peace a chance

No more nothing

No more w*r

All we are saying

No more prison

Now or never

No more hell

We don't need it

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Give peace a chance

Now or never

Reggae, children

Hey

Give peace a chance

Oh, yeah

All we're sayin'

Yeah, give peace a chance

Yeah

Hey

We're sayin'

We're sayin'

Oh, babe, oh, baby

A chance, children

Let's give peace a chance

Can you hear me, God

Yeah. Whoo!

All we are sayin'...

Give

the children a chance.

Give the kids of Willowbrook

a chance.

Take them out of prison.

Give the kids a chance

In New York City

Give peace a chance

Come on, babe

It shouldn't happen here

Like it happens there

Let's not have no more

Give the kids a chance

All we are saying

How would you like

historically to be remembered?

John and I lived,

loved, and died.

John?

Uh,

just as two lovers, you know?

And we'd like to be sprinkled

all over the Atlantic...

...and the Pacific

or something.

Bits of dust in New York,

London, Paris, Tokyo.

- That would be nice.

- A friend of mine

once said that...

We checked it out

and we found out

that it was ill*gal.

To drop bits of your body

and cremate it?

Yes, you can't cremate a body.

Well, that's the final...

final up sign

to the establishment...

...is to sprinkle ourselves

over the White House

and everywhere,

on Buckingham Palace

and the emperor's temple.

So long ago

Was it in a dream?

Was it just a dream?

I know

Yes, I know

Seems so very real

Seems so real to me

Took a walk down the street

Through

The heat-whispered trees

I thought I could hear

Hear

Hear

We don't care

What flag you're wavin'

We don't even want

To know your name

We don't care

Where you're from

Or where you're going

All we know

Is that you came

You're making

All our decisions

We have just

One request of you

Then while you're thinking

Things over

Here's something you

Just better do

Free the people now

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it now

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Free the people now

Do it, do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it now

Well, we were caught

With our hands in the air

Don't despair

Paranoia's everywhere

We can shake with love

When we're scared

So let's shout it aloud

Like a prayer

Free the people now

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it now

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Free the people now

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it, do it, do it, do it

Do it now
