...there, and I'm proud of it. For three days I looked around at the generation that I am part of. This group of strangers sat, listened, talked and related, but related completely without violence. Everyone did "their own thing," without causing a ruckus. We proved that under difficult circumstances we don't need to fight to rid ourselves of aggressive feelings; no, instead we try to enjoy life through music and each other. My peers are indeed beautiful people...

He writes of his Dublin boyhood as that of "a penniless snob." But if his poverty denied him the class privilege of a university education, it gave him great freedom of mind.
