It was a homeless man in Hollywood who got me thinking. |
| [00:31.76] |
We'd just flown in from San Francisco; we'd been flying |
| [00:35.88] |
And driving for weeks. This day I saw a homeless man on |
| [00:41.44] |
The street in Hollywood. I felt the usual mix of sorrow for him, |
| [00:48.19] |
And anger at a society that makes a man live like this. |
| [00:53.51] |
Later on I thought about it more, he affected me differently. |
| [00:59.20] |
He really looked together, really organised. He was a survivor. |
| [01:03.95] |
I'm sure his life is really tough, but I felt a deep sense of |
| [01:09.76] |
Respect for him, much more than pity. Then I asked myself, |
| [01:15.07] |
Why did I react this way. It struck me, that here in this crazy |
| [01:21.20] |
World, there was a man, who drives no car, who flies no plane, |
| [01:26.46] |
Who heats no home; in a time of global warming his CO2 |
| [01:32.33] |
Emissions are pretty much zero. This homeless man in |
| [01:40.15] |
Hollywood is a model urban citizen. |
| [01:45.84] |
|
| [01:48.46] |
I on the other hand, I live this life of good intentions, |
| [01:52.40] |
I travel the world, I try to be aware of the earth, I sing my songs, |
| [01:59.15] |
I look and hope for change. But out on the road, I fly everyday, |
| [02:03.84] |
I drive everyday, I heat my home, and burn up so much fuel |
| [02:13.28] |
That if everyone lived like me, we'd need about 4 planets |
| [02:16.90] |
Just to keep it all going.......................... Shit! |
| [02:21.84] |
|
| [02:23.34] |
Funny how a homeless man in Hollywood got me thinking.... |
| [02:26.91] |
Men like him just walk the walk, and men like me........... |
| [02:32.34] |
Well, we talk a good talk.... |
| [02:39.59] |
|
| [02:42.91] |
It was a homeless man in Hollywood... |
| [02:49.84] |
Homeless... |
