Grateful Dead Jerry Garcia Hippie Interview

[rollipolioli]

the hippies were probably the best thing to happen to this world, the government noticing this, decided to fuck it all up and now nobody ever fights for much anymore, which is sad. its no wonder the 60s were an extraordinary era

[voidinggenerations]

best way to make good music is to take as much drugs as possible

[Django5198]

@voidinggenerations not exactly. Frank Zappa barely took any drugs and his music is amazing and I doubt that many of the great classical composers did either. Don't get me wrong drugs have made great music (Hendrix, GD, Beatles, Pink Floyd etc) but you can still write great music sober

[goldenmonkeycolor]

"they rely on hallucination for their philosophy. this is not a new idea and it has never worked" imperialists always kick the hallucinators' asses! duh!  violence works! violence makes money, which distills liquor, which allows me to beat my wife harder and with more enjoyment. by the way, christianity was very inspired by ergot found in bread mold. though some monks prefered "fasting" no food just super high alcohol content home brew beer

[mountainhigh88]

support President Obama

[spd13062]

We could use a serious second round hippie movement right.....about......now.

[upsidetheflipside]

reasoner is such a lame duck lame ass we moved pat you and yer vietnam cold war crap by 66 , you douche

[ricoadventuravideos]

its pretty apparent who we want to listen to jerry garcia or that other closet loser

[pinkus44]

a vote for harry is a vote for a bad trip in the name of being an adult

[XtraPibbDude]

Year?

[rabidcatsinmypants66]

@XtraPibbDude prolly 1967

[bestfilmz]

@PetersJunta I don't know?

[bestfilmz]

Hippies are leeches.

[PetersJunta]

@bestfilmz  yufuckinretardedtho

[mountainhigh88]

Phil

[HIRAHOTO]

hard rock?

[ekimiki]

Where did all the hippies go?

[Django5198]

where's pigpen?

[AriDillProductions]

Fuck this guy hating on hippies

[MrFootlighter]

i wish there was another hippie movement

[M0j0S0D0pe420]

@MrFootlighter there will be my friend. trust me

[bobshenix]

The end of this video reminds me of how much better the older versions of "Dancin in the Street" were than the modified version on Terrapin, and all post-77 live versions.

It kinda had a disorganized feel to the jamming, but in the best sense of the word really. Just my 2 cents :) And how about pre-beard Jerry, good lord does he seem like the most fun guy to hang out with or what??

[tportellejam14]

Life was incredible back then. And this guy, along with other old people from that time, is a moron.

[jaash5]

something changed after this, this was the true essence of hippie drug use, not to be a degenerate, but to experience something new, to gain a new persepctive, when did it all change, when did people start becoming hippies just to get high and hallucinate and be a burn out, the innocence of the summer of love did not last, when the 70s came the world changed (or so i have read), people started using for different reasons, and the hippie movement that started it all would never be the same

[WolfgangKing1]

Haha hard rock music. Thy tickles me. Rip jerry

[greenfruitface]

Interesting how the guy interviewing them at the table is asking them about "drugs" and drug use as he smokes a factory-made cigarette. I guess that doesn't count though.

[dzdncnfzd3]

"people who can grow beards and make love are supposed to move from innocence to wisdom' lol i knew kids who could grow beards at 13 and i was def able to make a baby at that age so i guess innocence should be lost at 13 for some and for those others who jsut can't grow facial hair i guess they will jsut be the unwise

[Gargar7980]

youth is such a great thing.... never want to get old unless u can live like jerry!!! RIP jerry garcia

[fassman316]

Whoever this douchebag host is, how little did he know that the hallucinating, corrupt, drug taking freak hippies he interviewed would be together as a group for another 30 YEARS and become THE GREATEST BAND IN THE LAND

[dkern42]

whos the old man hosting this? what a typical average douche bag. he has no respect for the legends he just interviewed

[dkern42]

who the hell is the old man hosting this shit? what a typical average douche bag. no respect what so ever with the legends he was just interviews

[Aryozad]

Dead rocked real hard in the pre-beard days...

[fc33hh]

they dont know a mind supressing drugs is for problem people and mind expanding for those learning amazing things ,its just not the same way of use , most don,t know after all these years ,,, dream on  - learn nothing - the few that learn , they know who they are and what its about.

[ilovethebeatles17]

harry reasoner can suck a dick

[TheLuxuriusHippy]

Reasoner describes the Grateful Dead's music as "hard rock music"! LOL he may (or may not) have been a good guy, but he obviously wasn't familiar with their music, as it's light years away from hard rock. Every listened to American Beauty or Workingman's Dead?

LOVE Garcia's comment--"We're all trying to live an uncluttered life". Wow, think about how much less stressful so many people's lives would be if they lived an "uncluttered life" . . .

[jaash5]

@TheLuxuriusHippy I agree with you that this is not hard rock music, but i believe this is 1967 when this interview took place (garcia's pre beard time), and this is hard for that time, this is long before workingmans dead or american beauty, this music scared people, it frightened the establishment, and the people in power, i would have loved to live in this age where this was so against the norm and the status quo,

i loved your comment about an uncluttered life

[iamkuda]

Well there are the hippies!

[happyjack585]

man, im a hippie, and im proud. Yeah we know world peace can't happen. but whats wrong with trying? the trip (no pun intended) is more important than the destination. As I strive for peace, I get into a calm tranquill mindset. It evens me and others out, so who knows? it might just happen. People think the ends justify the means, well they don't. the more we try for world peace the more peaceful we become. the more rich we try to become, the more cynical and greedy we are. its all in the trip.

[brotherbuttcrack]

I love Phil's scummy ass neck scratch in the begining of the interview

[Django5198]

Jerry was no pothead. His views were not an excuse to get high. He was a very wise man who was very creative. He was always anti-racist his whole life and tried his best to help everyone around him and encouraged them to help eachother. And dispite what he says I don't believe that these views were influenced by drugs.

[woodrowman]

Wow, I am impressed by the substantial commentary! I feel robbed to have grown up in a era when "grown ups" did not speak such frank words of truth concerning childish errors! Awesome!

People who can grow beards should move from innocence to wisdom!

[meteora8423]

Real creativity comes from inside in the deepest center of your being, whatever it may be only you truly know. Only difference between people who work in art studios and people who work in cubicles is that the people who work in cubicles don't allow themselves to LIVE from their deepest center of their being; they stay in fear and denial, as a result they attack anything different from the external world that they don't understand.

[TheVenturewest]

How can people criticize the hippies, we live in the land of the free and we can live how we want so if you dont like the way they live dont be like them...The conservitive types were afraid the hippies would ruin thier america, but when was america ever theirs anyway, live how you want, people will always judge you but they mean nothing...also Harry Reasoner is a dick

[StoneFredFlint]

In short, and in savage retrospect, the comments on both sides are incredibly naive. The trick, as we all found out, is integrating the vision with the reality. Good Luck with that!

[RedsoxFan20042007]

Wow it's always weird to Jerry without the beard

[spritebottel123]

hippies talk about not harming people but they harm there selfs when they do drugs

[yani540]

Who are the two guys at the edge of the group? They dont look like Bill or Pigpen and this looks to early to have Mickey in the band. One looks like Tom Constanten but i know this is before he joined.

[smakoking]

@yani540 looks like danny rifkin and rock scully, the bands managers (danny's the one at the end next to bob)

[davismills56]

Jerry Garcia was truly inspirational and his philosophies could still hold true today. It's not about the drugs or the lifestyle it's about living how you feel you should. Peace and love is what brings people together and that is one thing Jerry could do without effort. Jerry will live forever and and his words truly are the truth that many should get through their mind.

[blindskater0190]

Dude you dont know shit about what it means to be a hippie then.

[reforest4fertility]

I thought that was the whole point of style, to cover up the lack of content, or from the fear that content is lacking. At least they weren't dressing Babylon, & for Mammon

[zaphodfortytoo]

This guy is a shit head. It's not about private satisfactions... It's realizing all the bullshit we put ourselves through is not necessary like they tell us it is.

[spreadneck7]

Ol Harry is a real hoot. About shit my pants.

[chainsawbeaver]

that guy in the end is a real downer man, all he is doing is dissing the hippies, why did that put that guy in their man if hes not gonna say anything productive?

[interstatehighway]

fuck that guy

[mbommari]

harry reasoner what bummer man

[imaguy817]

Harry the Reasoner hahahahaha.

[namniekib]

Harry shows no proof behind his criticisms and accusations and worse yet tries to promote fear among the parents.He speaks as if the hippie culture were the only corrupt culture.This man is a prime example of why people are better off with vitamin-fortified cereals and lead free gasoline. : D

[atk1967]

good to see & hear things like these . Happy hippe

[mpmgumby]

Bring back the LSD and life will be better

[DeadDylan3]

i like phils handle bar mustache in dancing in the street

[rennyminou]

Yeah, the coldness of the 60's narrative/doco style is so apparent here.

He speaks of "hippies" as if they were from another planet.

Glad "60 Minutes" kind of broke that mold eventually.

[tommy420nyc]

was that from a 1/2 hr special called the hippie temptation it aired on cbs in 1967

[claytonave]

There were some enterprising folks who used to conduct bus tours of Haight-Ashbury to point out the 'hippies' just like there are safaris to seek out wildlife.

[stopthemadness1]

"Style w/o content" - narrorator is a moron. Terrible anthropologist.

[rennyminou]

Style without content=Suits

[Alfrunk]

One could almost believe that these 'hippies' were human beings.

[xango2001]

The band give away their secret in this interview. They say "Expanding consciousness...We feel more like children than ever, and we're trying to grow UP"... ie. Grow in consciousness... Poor Harry Reasoner has no idea about what they were talking about. Someone should have dosed him... Lol!!!

[Alfrunk]

I can't imagine his confusion at encountering people who weren't on a 9-5 treadmill, working in a factory or office to pay for the next appliance or new car. What a scary world for him.

[Alfrunk]

Yes look at all those grotesqueries!

[TheRedRadical1]

"Greatest waste of all"!!! Has he seen what humanity has accomplished since? He must be kicking himself, if he's still alive.

[Alfrunk]

Amazing that this moron was actually a 'journalist'.

[HippieBuddah]

I wish somebody would buy 710 and make it into a museum.

[evanguerra86]

inside us all there lurks a hippie!!!

[deadheaded71]

style without content

[gozongas01]

Harry Reasoner and many others - then and now, think that it's better when you "grow up" and realize that violence, lying, drinking, ignorance, and lust over money are just parts of being an adult. Since people are flawed, and change is hopeless - just get what you can, and kill them before they kill you. The hippies permanently changed some things and ideas for the better.

[acbluestone]

@gozongas01 well said!

[bobshenix]

@gozongas01

Cynical as it is, your comment is true. However, i am not a parent yet but i do think there is something to be said for seeing the world for what it is (unfortunate or not), and preparing one's children for a world where everything isn't all rosy, where the Hitlerian view that all life on Earth is really in a continuous struggle has some truth to it... whether we like it or not.

As i've aged i have realized the importance of not to get lost in idealism, and being more realistic.

[MutantDog266]

HARDrock band?

[sofaking916]

yeah

[voznow7]

"well, there are the hippies, they make you unconfortable because obviously there is something wrong with the world they never made that leads them to these grotesqueories..."

What a Fawking self righteous douche.

[Crimble67]

Wow, for a middle aged, uptight white dude (probably republican, we'll just throw that in) Harry Reasoner pretty much hit it on the head.

Hey, I love Jerry Garcia and the Grateful Dead, but you can't run a society like that.

The ironic thing is that all of the members of the Dead ended up MULTI-MILLIONAIRES and most of the heads who followed them all over were DIRT POOR and basically lived a life of pan handling and hustling to get to the next show.

[bobshenix]

I know what you mean and will not deny this... but buying into the original hippie ideal does not mean you have to totally "drop out" of society and focus on nothing but getting to the next show.

Those that are that short sighted might enjoy their youth but may very well end up panhandling or working at a gas station forever.

The point is whether in traditional society or in a "hippie" world there is one common truth... you still need to WORK, period.

Many hippies work hard when they need to

[bobshenix]

they are capable of it... and those that are lazy and just use the whole hippie thing to do drugs and offer nothing to society will get theirs in the end.

Those that at least work hard enough to support their own lifestyles will find happiness in their own right. Ppl can go on and on about the system, the man, and how money is not important.

The fact is money is needed to live.. and you gotta work for it. Hippies are capable of this and many do work hard. Lazy ones give the rest a bad name.

[TheRedRadical1]

Yeah, like the idiot teenagers and mentally ill patients who moved into the Haight and ruined the movement.

[Alfrunk]

The narrator has no concept of the idea of some people living differently than others. I like how he dehumanizes them by calling them hippies, as if they are some unknown species. They listen to 'music' and make 'love' and wear clothing with 'colors'. This is strange to the narrator.

[shishimore]

@bobshenix Money is needed to live? Working toward some societal contribution is one thing, but I disagree with that. Just because you make some product does not mean I need to buy it. Money is not life. The only FACTS are: food, sleep, water and reproduction. That's all you need to live.

No one can really give you a "bad name". If someone judges you based on others actions, then they are the one's at fault. Hippies aren't a counter-culture anymore, they are fringers. Peace Bro

[bobshenix]

@shishimore

I agree with what you're saying to an extent. The hippie ideal of complete self-sufficiency and independence from society certainly sounds nice, and i do apply some aspects of the ideal to my own lifestyle.

However-- taking a realist stance and acknowledging EVERYONE'S partial (even when minimal) dependence on money in "the system" we have in place, if for nothing else than basic needs like food and shelter, does *not* mean total surrender to materialism, greed, and excess!!

[shishimore]

@bobshenix

I agree, good conversation. It takes money from somebody for us to talk on the internet, even if the Library provided the "free" service. Live long and prosper, buddy.

[tiddlywinks98712]

thats so unfortunate, but very true

[kostangmekham]

everything he says from 5:00 on... what a crock of shit

[chucknorrisanator890]

[ganjisgood]

[fistacorpse]

"or could be if they wanted to..." hey thats me!

[scjason420]

[cosmicwarrior287]

far out,right on!

[Purushadasa]

Groovy, Baby!

[Crimble67]

Yeah, tell us all the real purpose of the hippie movement, fill us in.

[Katanajoe7]

it doesnt have a real purpose man. it was just there and it happened and it was awesome.

[bradljr0046]

this harry dude is a complete douche

hes one of those republican conservative types thatll just never understand the real purpose of the hippie movement

[geishagrrrl]

which guy with the Afro? roc scully is there too.

[proflig8]

[geishagrrrl]

[proflig8]

guy with afro is danny rifkin

[caseyjones67]

who is tht guy with like the black afro type thing thats in the interveiw with the dead comment my profile wit the answer

[cristo0627]

Harry-what a tool.

[Sunflower0122Z]

I guess Harry didn't bother to listen to any of the music to prepare for this interview. Sounds like he was doing Nixon a favor by racthing up the fear factor. Maybe they should of had a tv crew at the Roseland the other night. We are still here baby and we are everywhere.See you on tour.

[wireguy73]

hippies... boomers.... the most self centered and selfish generation ever in the history of America. They've managed to destroy family values and ethics in the process.

having said that i'm a huge GD fan and went to dozens of shows. i don't look to artists or musicians for my political and social ideals and neither should anyone else.

[Sunflower0122Z]

You clearly misunderstood the Dead and who their intellectual influences were.They embraced many Libitarian beliefs at the very least .I think the GD helped the majority of their fans to strive to be better people and thus better parents. Boomers were not the byproduct of hippies, they were always part of the main stream they always bought into the dysfunctional Americian dream. You think all those folks running AIG were dropping acid and going on Dead tour? Give me a break.

[wireguy73]

hippies are boomers therefore can not be a byproduct of. I would more likely say that hippies are an early reflection of the me first generation. You need look no farther than the folks who are selling out american companies to foreign interests and bankrupting the american dream so they can get a paycheck out of it. Look to all the CEO's of all the companies who are crawling to the feds now for help but still trying to pull in millions of dollars in bonuses and salary. The boomer generation

[Sunflower0122Z]

I think you mean Wall Street and the banks. Let's see the counter culture movement helped bring forth civil and women's rights,Earth day, broader environmental awarness, recycling,the organic food movement and many other things.What is going on has been happening long before the boomers. Wake up!

[wireguy73]

What you seem to be ignoring is that your prescience boomers are part of that Wall Street machine and exhibiting the same me first mentality that is at the core of the decay of this society. It was first seen in the hippy movement but has since cascaded throughout the generation. They contributed good with the bad but that doesn't exclude them from the blame. You are the one who needs to wake up.

[Sunflower0122Z]

Laissez-fair capitalism was first seen in the hippie movement? Is that your point? You have a real false allusion about what really makes the world go around. Capitalism is the utilmate "me' act and my point, which you refuse to accept, is that to even think that hippes are responsible for the current state is obscene.Are you next you are going to blame them for the Great Depression?Boomers are just mere pawns in this game that started in this country with the industrial revolution.

[nickgui]

@Sunflower0122Z your boxing too so I'll say the same thing. All most all the shakers & movers in Haight including most people there before the Hype wern't Boomers, They were older. I'm a boomer and I was one of the young kids in 65-67 before the want-to-be's from out of town showed up and I wasn't a mere pawn of the indudtrial revolution or yours to stick in a mindless false box. Does everyone in your gemeration think alike? Are they all the same? Mine wasn't either.

[Sunflower0122Z]

@nickgui dude did you read my comment? I love 60 minutes but Harry could have done a better piece, even by 60 minutes standards this was lame."Style without content" LMAO Lighten up brother I was not dissing the locals

[nickgui]

@wireguy73 all most all the shakers & movers in Haight including most people there before the Hype wern't Boomers, They were older. I'm a boomer and when I'd go up there in 65-67 before the Hype

I was one of the youngsters. Most of the people there were borm in WW-Two or before. Your box doesn't fit. Saying all boomers are this or that is bullshit anyway. No one from any g-g-generation

is just this or that.

[nickgui]

Hey wireguy the reason we were called Baby Boomers is there were a Whole Bunch of us. How many of us are CEO's of companys crawling to the Feds? How many are selling out american companies to foreign interests?

How many aren't and have nothing to do with what your talking about? You think about that kid before you go around sticking a whole generation in your mindless box as pawns for your rap,

[Katanajoe7]

actually i think you''ll find that the dudes at AIG were probably exactly that. the majority of middle aged bankers nowadays were all deadheads back in the 60's/70's. I know this because my father is one of them along with a bunch of the guys he works with.

[kostangmekham]

I flipped a coin and it landed on heads 3 times in a row! I guess that proves that it's always going to land on heads!!!!!!!!

[nickgui]

Hey Sunflower Boomers were always part of the main stream? They always bought into the dysfuntional American dream? Yeah? We all did? Give me a break. Talk about style with no content.. How many people you know "went on tour" with the GD in 1967?

People wern't going on tour with the Dead then kid. That's your generation not mine.

You ever hear that Dylan line

"And I'll know my song well before I start singing:."? or "Little boxs full of ticky tacky and they all look just the same."?

.

[Sunflower0122Z]

@nickgui Dude I was not, nor did I ever comment on boomers.Plus I am one as well. Man you are way off. As for the tour comment it was about last year spring tour and just for the record I will be at Furthur tomorrow night. Yes the song is still being sung, too bad you are pissing vinagar and missing out. Lighten up man.

[nickgui]

@Sunflower0122Z you didn't comment on boomers? What's this? You said it.

"Boomers were not the by product of hippies, they were always part of the main stream they always bought into the dysfunctional Americian dream" "Boomers are just mere pawns in this game that started in this country with the industrial revolution."

You said it so what does your :"nor did I ever comment on boomers." have to do with the truth? Nothing. Who talking Yak and way off?

[Sunflower0122Z]

@nickgui do'h you got me. NOW I remember. My apologizes, but still stand by what I originally posted last year.

[nickgui]

@Sunflower0122Z

Good now that we got that stright.

All the best and like Kesey did in his Further take it Faster Further Louder & Higher at The Further Fest. this year.

The misuc never stopped,

Happy Trails

[manbeardude36]

The Dead are a great band it doesnt matter if u dont see that, others do. Sorry I am such a tool for enjoying smiling and dancing like some happy douche retard. Lol

thanks jerry

and phil looks amazing in this video..sweet stash and bobby is like 12

and Im CANADIAN

[manbeardude36]

sfxrules sounds like u dont like having fun....do u know joy is product of enlightenment. Do u notice how the Buddha smiles? Muisic is joy it doesnt have to be much more, but the emotions associated with the noises, And whats wrong with some pot? pot is a nice plant that helps people. i bet that is more than can be said about your lame attitude towards life.

[Mikemaniax]

The announcer is a douche, and even his name is douchy, Harry Reasoner?

[letitgrow11]

rotf lmfao.

[sfxrules]

Garcia is a great guitar player and the Dead have a handful of really good songs, but I'm glad not to be part of that scene. It just seems so utterly boring. Talk to someone who's into this stuff and you'll find out why.

[08monkeywrench]

Don't worry sfxrules, the feeling is mutual. You weren't missed on the scene. I'm sure you were utterly boring then and it's obvious you're still utterly boring, so get the fuck outa here.

[ChavezRey]

If you find delving into philosophy, music, art and the nature of human consciousness boring than you might do better to have a Big Mac, a Coke and a smile. This scene demands a more rigorous and free thinking approach than others.

[sfxrules]

I'm not american. Never even had, nor wanted, a big mac. Gallon sized Coke drinks are, thankfully, not the rigor in my country. We tend to not be fat nor dumbly smiley.

As far as philosophy and the rest of your interests, what do they have to do with dopey deadheads? I lived and worked in the US for ten years and met some of those unbearable losers, they were as interesting as dung heaps. But hey, let's fight capitalism bro, peace out dude. Kerouac, Ginsberg... Should I sing 'America'?

[0988isolator]

so what's the point of your comment? what is it you're trying to accomplish? a demonstration of your superiority?

[bwise180]

sfxrules sucks... you should stay out of America.. we don't want you here... jerry garcia led a movement that still plays a strong role in American culture.. If you don't like peace and rock and roll then listen to monkeywrench and get the fuck outa here!

[sfxrules]

aww, I suck. At least I don't suck the bong which seems to be a basic requirement if you want to be a deadhead. Anyway, your message does not have a very 'love and peace' feeling about it. But I guess that feeling is only reserved for geniuses that are exactly like yourself.

I have no idea who or what monkeywrench is. A 'dead' cover band? Jam on my brother!

[PsychedelicBB]

who are the other two on the left and right of garcia lesh and weir

[threeby8887]

PsychedelicBB, the two others are Danny Rifkin on the left and Rock Scully on the right. They were both the group's managers during their early days.

[PsychedelicBB]

thanx

[nolanpotter1]

In defense for harry: That wasn't improvisational and he probably didn't write that. i don't know. I don't like him much either, i'm just saying.

[rf259]

ha thanks harry you are an ass, long live the dead!

[folkrockm14]

this news reporter is a conservative dueche

[mmmaaaxxx13]

the narrator is a total ass hole

[tenakeeguy]

Hey remember , the question is , ARE YOU KIND

[androidstar]

Doesn't anyone consider the fact that most "Hippies" were runaway teens from very dysfunctional homes? Alcoholic & violent parents that were WW2 and Korean vets, who had been badly damaged by their wartime experiences, often took it out on their kids. Can you condemn all those kids with that in mind? It turned out I wrote a book about those days as a runaway teen titled: "Autobiography of a Hippie: 1964 through 1969" in which I describe what it actually was like back then, not some BS like this!

[threeby8887]

androidstar, do you still have copies of your book?

[androidstar]

Hi there... yes, if you go to my channel, there is a link there to my book, or you can google it.. or even go to Amazon and type in the title: "Autobiography of a hippie: 1964 through 1969" and you will see the reviews posted there... as well as purchase a copy of it as well, if you wish to. Cheers!

[steve7744]

Great vid, very cool interview

but that guy just butchered the entire hippie phylosophy with total overexaggerated bullshit

[stacyblue1980]

this dude was clueless. negative yammering. "corrupting" my ass.

PIGPEN PIGPEN PIGPEN!!

[goatmark]

The interviewers has a good grasp on what he seen. I love jam bands especially the Dead,as well as acid,but you gotta have a means of supporting yourself or you become a leech on society.ANd everything went commercial, and Jerry and Bobby got BMW's.

[CRACKtakular]

great video until harry's verbal bashing

[dancrin]

Ouch Harry

[dustinthewind7]

fuck you harry! the movement is the shit! they were all so young in this video! thanks for postin it bro.

[DangerousBastard]

Gotta love the way they make the distinction between "hippies" and "ordinary people"! lol Not realising, of course, that the value of the psychedelic experience is in disolving those boundaries and distinctions...

[cnedwick]

jerry was always so intelligent - so cerebral when he spoke...

[fenway5150]

Jerry was actually much more intelligent than a lot of those nerd reporters. He was not only more intelligent but, it goes without saying, far more open-minded than those tight-ass newsman who are afraid to live.
