Northern Virginia, The Pentagon, 1968...
"Did you finish those reports?"
"That I have, sir, we are gonna wipe out as many of those shit-eating cock-whores in south-east Asia as possible... goddam commie gooks! --- first we'll rub as many off the map as possible in Vietnam, and when we're done with that, we'll take on Laos and Cambodia.... to hell with what the public thinks, if they don't like it, we'll bomb them in secret, even if ground operations end..."
"Goddam, love-fest idiot youth public," growled one General to the other.
"Goddam hippie-fest of punk middle-class University students."
"Did you hear what Admiral Morrison's son said?"
Admiral Morrison's son was the famous 60s rocker, Bill Morrison, who also hosted a TV show featuring a no-spin zone.
"I heard he's said a lot of smut and he's a real embarrassment to his father," one of the General's commented.
"That's true, my niece was at one of his recent concerts in Chicago and she said he said he's sick of being a freaky musician and that he wants to be fucking Napoleon and to hell with that shitty war we've got going on over there, he wants a bigger war with lots of explosions and bombs and stuff."
"Goddam shit-eating cock-whore."

Glenn Beck-Manzarek and Bill Morrison prepared to play another gig with their drummer and guitarist, the show would go on soon, Bill Morrison slipped his unwashed leather pants which already had a belt attached after getting out of bed at 4pm after having just awoken -- he lay with some girl he'd met for the first time the day before that was meant to help him handle his great wealth. He threw on a shirt and made for the nearest bottle of wine, lit up a cigarrette, his throat hurt. There were no mobile phones, it was 1968, no internet. There was a big helicopter war going on in Vietnam. I am so the patriot and so not the pinhead, thought Bill Morrison to himself as he recalled how the troops in Vietnam dug his music like crazy, him and Jimi Hendrix. Knock, knock on the door, it was Glenn-Beck Manzarek, time to smoke some weed with him and ride out to the stadium.
In the car Glenn-Beck Manzarek, the Doors keyboardist said to Bill Morisson,
"I heard your mother is going to be at tonite's concert, and your brother and sister too; I heard your brother and sister really like some of our songs."
"I have no mother," replied Bill Morison to Glenn-Beck Manzarek.
