The boys in the band didn’t want to be blamed;they were only musicians, playing drums and guitars.But they told the truth to the reporterswhen some people didn’t want to hear it.Some people believed in canvas sails and side oars,preferring to spread the peril of the journeyover months instead of hours. Most of thesemost likely never made it to the new world.But civilization has always relied on drugsand LSD was a supersonic transatlantic jet.The boys cut their hair alike, dressed alike;this was being professional. Impressionable kidsmight have cut their hair the same, or worn the clothes,but weren’t as stupid as some people thought.A theory in the law says that one cannot be hypnotizedto commit a crime that one would otherwise find abhorrent.Kids don’t get their desire for risky behavior from hypnosis.As for the band, the new world was a stepping stone.They were young and had yet to discover who they were.They were just lucky they had become rich and famous.
