to clean up but you also have music a band a band that shows up not once twice hundred and fifty times they pay people to park there tonight for the first time on stony speaks t v probably one of the quintessential not as good you know we here we are it's an election year let's bump it up what you got going which gets to say about the sa right well you know i don't know it's hard to keep up you know the i don't know if i'm going to put all my stock in elections anymore you know no we've definitely become jaded  if you can invent the truth if you good enough for a lot of politicians i think but how many songs have the funky nixon's wrote i mean first of all we're get well how much come up with the name nothing is funky there there was the hope that it was the worst president of all time now you know and we had bush and then we had bush again and now we're not quite sure what we  have yeah and we'll stick with the next and yeah but i mean you guys can play a couple songs we come back we'll talk about some of the political movements you've seen here in that you've been part of the one you're going up north to see save the trees up there f told me a story about getting kicked off the democratic bandstand where like a benefit band you know and plus we have a sound system which makes this real kind of desirable sometimes in fact you know we start with the saudis and we need to had all this we're a full band actually we have a drummer a bass couple because she is send you know we'll make a dance for an hour that's pretty much our mission you know you get up sweat for an hour in and turn it off live like ok i'm the host here you guys are mulligan is really kind of my biggest influence miles and the rock n roll for jimi and the grateful dead yeah well we're glad they existed because now you we became a house band for the homeless is that but he was the one i think i guess he'd seen enough bands beginning that he saw something in us and he always gave us you know as a slot on the bill and at that time so that was it we just had to play in people's park a lot you know we've always been all about the park whenever we can you know somehow was still holding on to it with our by cusswords know who if you played with at the park just offhand locally  wavy and country joe yeah we will pick out what you opened up for our country joe we got to see some of the pros i mean you know these guys been around forever you know you know and i don't know you know we we played in nevada test site one time with some commercial band w prove people's park all the time and the naked people the naked people that's why we opened up for them one time he opened up for the naked people to have let's see we actually had several rehearsals that's right in the thought that we were going to play together on the stage and a cave about to get dressed stripped in solidarity i recall that i had a call asking if they minded if i didn't i don't really care if it is ok you guys do a lot about religion what is your truth about religion you are a preacher school student i forget what they're called you know and so he had a big jesus thing that he was trying to shake off and so we ended up doing a few songs what was it we love the pope which we actually do in pope suits just to show you know comments the bands feel uncomfortable with the mushy with legends like this that's why every stage in berkeley if you just tuned in you've probably been tuned out long enough to understand this is stoney speaks t v i'm berkeley community it was a good time i don't know how much time we got left we've got nine minutes left we get time to talk and sing and do did you get your oil that politician before you roll them oh all you know with every joke there's a another layer of the joke it's a big onion how about food not bombs you know bars you know bombs well we've definitely played for food not bombs on numerous occasions i've actually occur through no bombs  e they do what a food but i mean in a nutshell well he was trying to provide free food to the homeless using access to free food from different organizations and donations said yes she thought a lot of the funky nixons yes indeed she was definitely a fan of mine although she was honest she actually we had shows on berkeley liberation radio one after the other and she confided to me in all the time that we just kind of
