17.01.2022 The Magazine Picture Paper Vol 1 Number 1 February 1970 Text by Adrian (Photo John Walsh) PILGRIMAGE FOR POP/the pilgrims. They came from New Zealand. They came from Perth. They came from Adelaide, Brisbane, North Coast, Melbourne, the Riverina. Some of them arrived as early as Thursday. Some as late as Sunday afternoon. Some of them were smoking grass. Some were tripping. Some 'cooled it' by bringing gallons of alcohol, apologising with a smile: 'We're really all rightwe t...urn on.' They came together to enjoy youth, beauty and There was Leonie of the big eyes and the bigger voice . . . There was Mannie who lives on a boat called Sanpaku and always carries his primus stove and Japanese tea with him . . . There was Moon, the most beautiful woman in Australia . . . There was Ian, whose vibes are like fireworks . . . There was Lindsay who dwells always in Silence, whether he speaks or does not speak . . . There was Rodney Manning, looking like a younger Buster Hogan . . . There were the young Germans calling ..themselves 'Double Happiness Traders' . . . four years ago, before leaving Germany, they prepared a poster on the theme 'Pilgrimage of Pop' . . . There was the short-haired athlete, his body physical perfection, who ate raw meat and was 'shocked' when he saw four boys holding hands and chanting 'OM' . . . There was the wispy blonde angel from Brisbane who quietly thanked everyone concerned with the organisation, weeping and remembering . . . There was the little girl from Newsday who cried because her editor would never let her print the truth . . There were some who drank . . . there were many who will never drink again . . . there were those who eat meat and those, thin as spiders with the eyes of dreamers, to whom every meal is a failure and a come-down . . . but all united in youth and beauty. 'So many beautiful people' said expatriate Ritchie Yorke, 'man, I can't believe the birds,' Yes, they were young and they were beautiful. They came together to enjoy youth beauty and life. They came believing in peace, believing in love. Inadvertently they came together to prove that they were just as decent as their elders. And they did prove that the non-moralizing morality of acceptance and tolerance . . . the morality of non-duality . . . the morality of a new era of love . . . is the same morality which prompted a Man somewhere, somehow to defend a woman accused, to beat back her attackers with the single thought: 'Let him who is without sin cast the first stone' They came on a pilgrimage to proclaim the present. And their proclamation makes the future much much brighter for us all.
