Nobody can give you your freedom. You ARE free. It is your natural state, okay? You can give it all away if you want, but: no. I can\u2019t GIVE you your rights. I can\u2019t give you your freedom. And to go and beg the Man for your rights and BEG the Man for your freedom? LIVE your freedom.<\/p>\n One of Berg\u2019s phrases was “life actor.” “Theatre of the streets.” All of this as theatre. As opposed to in a different arena you would call politics or activism or so on. But using theatre as a way to open doors that might not be opened if someone was approaching it in other ways. Out of that comes this whole sense of “create the reality you want to live in.” Which is a powerful, profound concept. People are trapped in the paradigm: you can\u2019t even think there is an outside of the box. Just that notion of thinking, and living outside that paradigm, was real powerful stuff.<\/p>\n Claude Hayward<\/a> of the San Francisco Diggers talking to Jay Babcock for the eighth installment of Jay\u2019s verbal history of the hippie anarchists<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n \u2022 Joanna Moorhead<\/a> on the creation of the Mae West lips sofa, a collaboration between Salvador Dal\u00ed and Edward James.<\/p>\n \u2022 The latest book from Rixdorf Editions is Papa Hamlet<\/em><\/a> by Arno Holz and Johannes Schlaf.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Sweet Jane’s Pop Boutique: Op and Pop | Art Forms in Furnishing<\/a> (1966).<\/p>\n \u2022 Denis Bovell’s favourite music<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 At Dennis Cooper’s: Coffins<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u2022 Love At Psychedelic Velocity<\/a><\/em> (1966) by The Human Expression | Hamlet (Pow, Pow, Pow)<\/a><\/em> (1982) by The Birthday Party | The Art Of Coffins<\/a><\/em> (2002) by Bohren & Der Club Of Gore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cover art by Gray Morrow; design by Henry Berkowitz, 1967. \u2022 “Dial-a-Poem received more than a million calls before it lost funding and ended in 1971.
