The essence of the entire roadshow
Was the I love you's that were said...
<when those people knew they were going to die>.
That is all that is important here.
That is all that really matters.
That is all people have ultimately to hold on to.
Those memories.
That spirit.
That moment in time.
That's all there is, man.
And it hurts really bad.
People will always hold on to that moment in time.
That will spur them on to whatever they become.
All the rest is just noise...

Hi Dr. Voodoo; For impristine, particularly at this moment in time, somehow this partially antiwar song seems applicable:

CROWN OF CREATION
Gracie Slick, Jefferson Airplane, 1968
...
Lather
Lather was thirty years old today
They took away all of his toys
His mother sent newspaper clippings to him
about his old friends who'd stopped being boys
There was Harwitz E. Green, just turned 33
his leather chair waits at the bank.
And Seargent Dow Jones, 27 years old
commanding his very own tank.

But Lather still finds it a nice thing to do
to lie about nude in the sand
drawing pictures of montains that look like bumps
and thrashing the air with his hand.

But wait! Oh Lather's productive, you know
he produces the finest of sound
putting drumsticks on either side of his nose
snorting the best licks in town.

But that's all over....

Lather was thirty years old today
and Lather came foam from his tongue.
He looked at me eyes wide and plainly said
"Is it true that I'm no longer young?"
And the children call him famous
what the old men call insane
and sometimes he's so nameless
that he hardly knows what game to play
which words to say
And I should have told him:
"No, you're not old,"
and I should have let him go on smiling babywide.
