rainbow people are really cool and they love the earth

The rainbow warriors will bring the souls of fallen natives in the shape of the same white men who killed them on the conquer of north america, and will bring peace, joy and respect for the earth and for earthlings...

so be it.

I was at Rainbow '81, an incredible experience. It was worth it simply to be out in the mountains under a clear sky at night--I'd never seen stars like that. Most amazing for me though were the jams at Madame Frog's Teahouse: wonderful guitar, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica players, not to mention the dude with a sitar could make the thing sing!

Weird, some of the negative comments here. Since when did making your own music in the woods become so threatening?

What is the song that plays at about 3:15? Is it just a rainbow-folk song that was made up? Or is this a song someone wrote that I could get a recording of? It's pretty groovy!

maybe with another war north america could vanish those hyppis from the earth.

I'm being interviewed in Part 1 and commenting on the oatmeal and mentioning I'm from Long Island. Thanks for interviewing me. A year after this interview, I discovered acting as my calling.

I do respect their positive, loving, and carefree spirits. As a believer in Christ, I am opposed to pagan religion.  But as for the many other things these people stand for... for those things alone I would love to hang out with these wonderful people at a rainbow gathering.
