I had been an eyewitness to a truly historic moment in American pop culture.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My hunch is that pop culture began to stagnate the moment Americans started to love the past more than they did the future.
During the Sixties, the Americans thought I was the greatest thing in the history of cinema.
It's fun to be a part of pop history. Anytime you can be referenced in that respect it can be cool.
But what was interesting about what the Who did is that we took things which were happening in the pop genre and represent them to people so that they see them in a new way. I think the best example is Andy Warhol's work, the image of Marilyn Monroe or the Campbell's soup can.
There are moments in history that people should be reminded of.
In a single moment, we witnessed the worst of human behavior. And in the next, the very best of human behavior. And even more, we witnessed the tremendous spirit of Americans.
So often, we don't realize that the very moments in which we live become our history, our story.
Most of the memorable events I have myself been exercised in; and, for the satisfaction of the public, will briefly relate the circumstances of my adventures, and scenes of life, from my first movement to this country until this day.
And when you really think about the 9-11 event, the horrific attack on our land here in America and the death of three thousand of out loved ones, it was a defining moment.
I happened to happened to land in a time, in the middle '60s, that without knowing it, and without being told by the history of theater - which we now see from a historical point of view was an explosive time.
