10. And good timing!

I've been talking with the three friends I attend rallies with today. One is a talented artist. I sent him the picture that Yoko contributed to Lennon's "Sometime in NYC" double LP, in hopes that my next poster can be an up-dated version. That picture was enough to get the LP banned in numerous places. Some suspect it played a role in the Nixon administration's starting to try to deport John. My friend David Peel told me that John's funneling money from "The Luck of the Irish" to the Good Fight on the Old Sod is the story that the released FBI Lennon Files kept secret.

My artist friend and I joined David Peel & the Lower East Side Gang on stage at a Woodstock reunion years ago. That group had been one of the original Plastic Ono Bands, of course. In between songs, one band member said to me, "Look. There's Frank Zappa." I will admit today that despite my being a strong supporter of Nancy Reagan's bold "Just Say No" campaign, I must have been dosed with second-hand smoke. Or maybe third? It was a long ride. But looking down, there were at least three guys who might have been Frank.
