(*) Intro There Is a War
“About a thousand years ago, there was this brief period of about 11 to 12 minutes that is now referred to as the 60s.
A heady time, an intoxicating time. I enjoyed myself thoroughly for 5 to 6 minutes.
It has become a kind of black hole in the sociological cosmos, a kind of Bermuda triangle into which all the nobler and worthwhile ideas have disappeared forever.
A seductive moment. However, being the gloomy chap that you know me to be, I was able to resist it. I think it was back in 1971 when it reached its most acute phase.
It was then that I was inspired to write this mournful and bitter ditty in response to all the flabby liars of the Aquarian age.”
