This same lonely desert was the last
known home of the Manson family.

about bats and huge manta rays
coming down on the car?
72
00:04:26.296 --> 00:04:30.097

I didn't think so.

Because, in spite of his race,
the man is extremely valuable to me.

01:51:07.968 --> 01:51:10.129
that he helped create.
1967
01:51:10.199 --> 01:51:12.569
A generation
of permanent cripples...
1968
01:51:12.639 --> 01:51:14.570
failed seekers...
1969
01:51:14.640 --> 01:51:18.971
who never understood the essential
old-mystic fallacy of the acid culture:
1970
01:51:19.041 --> 01:51:22.042
the desperate assumption
that somebody...
1971
01:51:22.112 --> 01:51:24.083
or at least some force...
1972
01:51:24.153 --> 01:51:26.523
is tending the light
at the end of the tunnel.
1973
01:51:33.936 --> 01:51:36.266
There was only one road
back to L.A.
1974
01:51:36.336 --> 01:51:39.327
U.S. Interstate 15.
1975
01:51:39.407 --> 01:51:43.338
Just a flat out high-speed burn
through Baker and Barstow and Berdoo.
1976
01:51:43.408 --> 01:51:46.009
Then onto the Hollywood Freeway,
straight into frantic oblivion...
1977
01:51:46.079 --> 01:51:48.380
safety, obscurity.
1978
01:51:48.450 --> 01:51:51.611
Just another freak...
in the freak kingdom.
