St. Philip's day is May Day, May 1st. A-and A. Philip Randolph was
called Saint Philip.
That, like these surfer dudes would skitch a ride on the back of boats
or wave-runners to get way out way out ...cause that where the fun is
way out
(Flintstone's song We're Going Way Out)

is like, so beastin, but that smile on his face ...and we've all
experienced this smile, this bliss, is not a state of consciousness,
but must always search for the way out waves to ride and ride those
Giants. It's kinda like a wandering scholar culture too. Bit once
Gidget and Hollywood and the Tube and so on get involved it turns to a
pornography that represses freedom, sexual and labor. So Gidget, a
little rebel, gets involved with some surf boyz and must run back to
conservative conformity, snitch and be welcomed home to Munny and
Daddy.

Of course, as with VL, where the focus is on the end of the "60s" (and
again, the 60s is not a decade but a cultural period and not a
Revolution...but a a chapter in the "French-American Revolution"
Jacques Martin Barzun), and as we discovered when reading Sales with
VL, what begins as a very promising labor movement, fractures and
turns violent and incestuous, cannibalistic.
