...successful group to go two-and-one-half years without releasing an album. That is, unless the group's last album remained on the record charts for two-and-one-half years.

I left while others couldn't and only through an understanding of my own motivation to leave have I begun to understand the full power of this movement...
When we went into the city the next day I ran into Moon people all over. They were all so friendly, so warm, and I was being tempted back to the farm. They made Buster and me promise to come to dinner at the Hearst House that evening. I was weak and confused; Buster was wise. He put me on the next bus heading east
