After this Living Theatre:Paradise Now Jim Morrison ''exposed'' himself in Miami on the next day. :)

The kid's voice in the audio may be mine. I made my stage debut with TLT as a toddler. Apparently, I crawled onto the stage & arranged shoes as people shed their clothes. Very improvisational theatre of which I have no memory. (My dad's a playwright & directed Theatre Genesis.) This type of theatre could never happen now b/c the audience is not the same. When people say Children of the 60's made no contribution to society but free love & STDs, I ask them if they shop at Whole Foods.

If anyone did Living Theater type stuff now, they would be thrown into the psychiatric gulag. Boy are those performances tightly connected to a time long past. Nothing shocks now--beheadings, school massacres, genocide. Its all part of the daily fare.

Allan Graubard comments: "It's a very powerful statement. What a difference between then and now. Then a war provokes massive continuous contestation - politically, culturally, individually. Now a war provokes... what? The zomboid masses have returned in force. no bs in this film... just the gut wrenching reality of hysteria as a theatrical response to the war and the madness of that war and what it meant to us all then...

"Why don't you do this in the streets? Why sell seats?"

I would just add, why doesn't this generation come up with its own theater for the streets? Arthur's obsession with the past is getting creepy.

I think it reminds us that we can come up with our own theater, etc.

And it shows us who grew up in the 80s and 90s a side of the 60s we never knew. We've grown up with a Forrest Gump vision of the 60s, and this is all really inspiring.
