NOTES

During the (first) Gulf War, I got plenty good and mad. I parked my car and wouldn't drive it because I said it wouldn't run on blood. Then; with the help of Dakota Sid Clifford, I went in a small but very fine studio here in Nevada City. I said to Bruce Wheelock, the engineer, "Set up two mikes and start the tape. I´ll tell you when I'm done". For the next 70 minutes I spouted, fulminated, and sang about war, peace, pacifism and anarchy—and believe me, I know what I'm talking about. I used songs, poems, and rants to make the point, and said, "Ookay turn of the machine." Bruce said, "Don't you want me to edit it?" I said, "No! I'm mad! Leave it the way it is!" - U. Utah Phillips
