✽ Joan introduces this song by saying, “This is a Gay Liberation song *selective claps from the audience* —Ah, you’re here, far out—(laughs) Actually I wrote this song, I really thought it was a great song, turns out nobody can understand any of it, so it’s best if you don’t try to understand this song, Gay Lib maybe you can understand. So just relax and listen to it, it’s just a bunch of images.”
✽ She’s also said of the song, that it’s about “…giving people permission to fall in love with whomever they please”.
“But who can dare to judge us
The women or the men?
If freedom’s wings shall not be clipped
We all can love again
—
So the choice is not of etiquette
Or finding lonesome ways to die
But liberty to ships at sea
And riders passing by…”

Anyway, Ginsberg came up, introduced himself and announced he wanted to fuck Bobby. And I said, “Well, hello, what’s holding you back?” And he said “I’m shy”. I said “Isn’t that sad?” I can’t remember much more about that meeting except that’s all Ginsberg wanted to talk about. I was a little insulted myself. I hadn’t realised he wouldn’t have any interest in me at all and was just using me to get to Bobby. Then Bobby was completely and totally drunk. We got him out in the car and he was, oh, maudlin. I don’t remember what he was saying, but I said “Ginsberg wants to go to bed with you,” and he said “Oh, oh, far out,” and then he passed out…
