More than once during the tour Clyde asked Ginger about the hostility rule because it bugged him. When they arrived in Amsterdam she said you might want to look into that – which seemed like a not so subtle insult. Then he asked, what about cultures that existed in the past without hostility? She replied if such a culture existed, then pretend to be like them. But you said you think hostility is natural in humankind. Yes I do, I also think it’s unnatural to try and cap it and you might get wonderful results if you do. Clyde, the rule is still the rule, if you can’t handle it you can leave. I don’t want to quit I just find it very interesting that you think people are hostile, like how do you prove it? Depends on what you call proof, might just be part of the life of life. She pointed out the window of the tour bus, on some level it’s present in every animal and insect. Do the bees and squirrels and leopards behave like they want to be friends when you surprise them? When you hear a strange sound in the forest are your first thoughts to play ping pong or to protect yourself? I’m not saying hostility is bad but it zaps the kind of energy I would prefer my band to have in reserve. The truth is Clyde liked the rule, and he even wondered if his complaints were just another form of it. Once thing he knew for sure, he was playing better than ever and the spirit of there group wasn’t like any collection of musicians he ever hung with previously.
