“ When John Lennon got assassinated, I get a call immediately from the Washington Post and they said ‘do you feel responsible for this?’ and I said ‘what do you mean responsible?’ ‘Well I mean you’re the one that predicted there would be a political assassination of a star’. ‘And I said ‘well I don’t feel responsible’, but I said, ‘but don’t you feel responsible for not heeding my warning?’ The statement here is, these people are not assassinated because of their ideas or what they do. They’re assassinated to draw attention to the assassin. And in political assassinations, in their sort of warped minds, they know that they are going to have a certain amount of people who said ‘That son of a bitch [the politician] should have been shot,’ because there’s such heat about it. But actually what they are doing is killing somebody who’s in the public eye and is some sort of an icon. Because this feeling that by, doing that, committing that assassination they draw the attention to themself, and they make themselves consequently important. Ah, and it’s no surprise to me, the Lennon assassination, because this is what all that is, and I don’t think we have seen the end of it either.

after graduation i traveled to the west coast. previous to this trip i had never crossed the Mississippi river, and needless to say the trip was pretty eye opening. my opinion of the US changed a lot. on the trip i started reading Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, which follows the travels of Lewis and Clark. i made this video a couple days after the trip ended.

Last week I met up with friends Bill, Jessie, Meredith, and Andrew on their Western conquests. It was a great adventure, both enlightening and inspiring, and provided an unexpected perspective to look at life from.

Guys, thanks again for letting me tag along, it was a blast. A few photos from the journey are here.
