You can't always measure the effects of activist work you just have to wish and pray that the message gets through.
Yoko Ono

The 1960s were about releasing ourselves from conventional society and freeing ourselves.
Yoko Ono
Image
In the '60s, people were still very protective of each field that they belonged to. Avant-garde artists didn't know about rock or pop or jazz. And the jazz people of course didn't want to know about any other music. They were all just kind of protecting their territory.

I don't work for a long time on anything. I don't have too much time in life.
