Q: Presumably you saw the Granada TV documentary It Was Twenty Years Ago Today?
GEORGE: Yeah, I watched it. I thought it was a good documentation of all the things that were happening in that period. I enjoyed seeing Timothy Leary and all them people commenting 20 years later. They said some good things.
Q: At the end when they asked all the counter-culture figureheads that they’d interviewed - Paul, Ginsberg, Leary, etc - whether they still believed that All You Need Is Love, they all tried to qualify their views: they said they were young, foolish and naive at the time. All except you. Why?
GEORGE: They all said, All You Need Is Love but you also need such-and-such else. But from like how I view it, love is complete knowledge. If we all had total knowledge, then we would have complete love and, on that basis, everything is taken care of. It’s a law of nature.
Q: So your ideals haven’t changed at all in 20 years?
GEORGE: No. No, they haven’t.
