‘‘I know....that you´re feeling downhearted and you´re
feeling disspirited but what I want to tell you is I´m here tonight....I
know that you´re feeling analyzed, stigmatised, downsized, retropsychedelicized....and
I wanna let you know that I´m here tonight to lift you up and all I wanna
see you do right now is raise your hands on high....´cause we´re
here tonight to reanimate you, to revalidate you, (?), to reconfiscate you,
to repenetrate you, to rededicate you, to reliberate you to the power, the promise,
the majesty, the mystery....the ministry....of rock and roll !….and all
you´ve got to do, all I´m asking of you, all I want you to do right
now, all you´ve got to do is say ‘I’…”
