She had had to come to terms with that the previous year and was just moving along, and here I come sprouting all these principles. So that's what was on my mind as we proceeded down J Road into what was left of the woods, and down to the Albion where the trees still stood. Ah, so you walked down J-Road saddened by the complicity of a generation you had spawned . Come the next year, wherever you saw the GAP logo, you saw boarded up windows beneath it, because the next year was the cross-millennium year and it was Seattle and Washington, it was city after city of the world. BILL: Exactly. Now it has changed. And now she and all of her friends are back as radical as they can be. And smart. |
And not complicit in the world order. And it's wonderful to me. You kick-started this cross-millennium year with a huge New Years eve celebration. I stopped to get my mail in Mendocino on the way home where we ran into a deputy. "Where is everybody?"he wanted to know, poor thing. They were all at your dusk-to-dawn celebration - the dawn Y2K did not materialize. What were your expectations? BILL: Button has a concept (a theory or a belief) that this is the cross-millennium coming up. And that things are shaking out this year. Shrinking down. Shaking out. People are shaking themselves out. And those who have become corrupted and can't become uncorrupted are getting worse in these |
