Donovan's Song "Atlantis" 1969
Here Are The Lyrics:
REJOICE SING AND DANCE  !

Dialogue :
The continent of Atlantis was an Island 
Which lay before the great flood
In the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean
So great an area of land, that from her Western shores

Those beautiful sailors journeyed
To the South and the North America's with ease
In their ships with painted sails

To the East, Africa was a neighbor across
A short strait of sea miles
The great Egyptian age is but a
 Remnant  of the Atlantian culture

The Antediluvian Kings colonized the world;
All the Gods who play a part in the
Mythological dramas in all legends
From all lands were from fare Atlantis

Knowing her fate Atlantis sent out ships
To all corners of the Earth
On board were the twelve, the poet,
The physician, the farmer, the scientist
The magician and the other so called
 Gods of our legends

Tho' Gods they were and as the elders
Of our time choose to remain blind
Let us rejoice and let us
Sing and dance and ring in the new
Hail Atlantis !

CHORUS:
Way down below the ocean
That's where I wanna be
She may be

Way down below the ocean
That's where I wanna be
Yea she may be

Way down below the ocean
That's where she may be
She may be.... she may be 
She may be yea yea yea yea

Way down below the ocean
That's where she may be
I wanna see I wanna see you some day

Way down Baby below the ocean
Wake up wake up wake up because
She may be below the sea 
Way down

If you’ve ever wondered how Beaver’s pal Gilbert turned out, he’s doing real neat. Stephen Talbot moved on from Mayfield to become a broadcast journalist for PBS, making investigative, news-making documentary films for Frontline, Bill Moyers and American Experience. Steve joins us to discuss his boomer journey from the streets of mythical 50s suburbia to counter-culture activism, to groundbreaking documentary journalism.

First, Jeffrey Sitcov heads a foundation called Doors of Change. They are positively impacting the lives of homeless kids who find themselves on the streets due to abusive home lives and/or coming out to their families as LGBTQ. Early intervention leads to inspirational success stories for these kids. The organization’s annual Concert of Hope is coming to San Diego in July with headliners, KC and The Sunshine Band. 100% of the proceeds benefit the kids!

Next, Stephen Talbot tells us about his lates project, The Movement and The Madman which chronicles the significant impact of the anti-war movement on Nixon and Kissinger’s dangerous escalation towards increased aggression and even possibly nuclear engagement in Viet Nam. If you were protesting the war, you saved lives.

Stephen was very eager to enter the family business as a kid. His parents were entertainers. His Dad, Lyle Talbot was a film and TV actor who appeared as Ozzie Nelson’s bud, Joe Randolph as Steve was portraying The Beaver’s bestie, Gilbert Bates. But, as Steve went on to college and became increasingly interested in politics and campus activism, Beaver went into reruns and it wasn’t long before Steve’s rally speeches were interrupted by signs that read, “Gee, Beav. I don’t know.” 

The blown cover did not deter Steve. He went to work as a reporter at San Francisco’s KQED and then traveled the globe, writing, producing and directing over 40 illuminating documentaries, including: Justice For Sale, The Long March of Newt Gingrich, 1968: The Year that Shaped a Generation, and Soundtracks: Music Without Borders. His next film will tell the story of Clifton Cafeteria’s run-in with true crime and gangsters in the 1930s.

We cap it off with a round of Leave It To Beaver Trivia.

Hoe dat verhaal in elkaar steekt en waarom we eigenlijk allemaal aan het speespak moeten, bespreekt Janine Abbring met conservator geschiedenis Maria Holtrop.

 Pinkie Sings "Here Comes the Sun" written by George Harrison 1969

Episode 222 of RevolutionZ titled Time Capsule 2 from My 1969 continues from episode 221. Each offers something from those "Sixties" days, this time an interview with me by the MIT campus newspaper which reveals something of the times and hopefully may even have implications for the present. Again, no changes have been made--this is just as it wasL the question-prodded ruminations of a then 22 year old campus revolutionary.
