“The Wave”
- Hunter S. Thompson
“
History is hard to know, because of all the
hired bullshit, but even without being sure of "history" it seems
entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole
generation comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really
understands at the time — and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually
happened.
My central memory of that time seems to
hang on one or five or maybe forty nights — or very early mornings — when I
left the Fillmore half-crazy and, instead of going home, aimed the big 650 Lightning across the Bay Bridge at a hundred
miles an hour wearing L. L. Bean shorts and a Butte sheepherder's jacket . . . booming
through the Treasure Island tunnel at the lights of Oakland and Berkeley and Richmond, not quite sure which turn-off to
take when I got to the other end (always stalling at the toll-gate, too twisted
to find neutral while I fumbled for change) . . . but being absolutely certain
that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just
as high and wild as I was: No doubt at all about that. . . .
There was madness in any direction, at any
hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101
to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks
anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was
right, that we were winning. . . .
And that, I think, was the handle — that
sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean of
military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail.
There was no point in fighting — on our side or theirs. We had all the
momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .
So now, less than five years later, you can
go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of
eyes you can almost see the high-water mark — that place where the wave
finally broke and rolled back.”

"Broke-down Palace"
Words by
Robert Hunter; music by Jerry Garcia

“Fare you well
my honey
Fare you well my only true one
All the birds that were singing
Have flown except you alone
Goin’
to leave this Broke-down Palace
On my hands and my knees I will roll roll roll
Make myself a bed by the waterside
In my time - in my time - I will roll roll roll
In
a bed, in a bed
by the waterside I will lay my head
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul
River
gonna take me
Sing me sweet and sleepy
Sing me sweet and sleepy
all the way back back home
It's a far gone lullaby
sung many years ago
Mama, Mama, many worlds I've come
since I first left home
Goin’
home, goin’ home
by the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul
Goin’
to plant a weeping willow
On the banks green edge it will grow grow grow
Sing a lullaby beside the water
Lovers come and go - the river roll roll roll
Fare
you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell
Listen to the river sing sweet songs
to rock my soul”
