[00:27.57]It was a homeless man in Hollywood who got me thinking.
[00:31.76]We'd just flown in from San Francisco; we'd been flying
[00:35.88]And driving for weeks. This day I saw a homeless man on
[00:41.44]The street in Hollywood. I felt the usual mix of sorrow for him,
[00:48.19]And anger at a society that makes a man live like this.
[00:53.51]Later on I thought about it more, he affected me differently.
[00:59.20]He really looked together, really organised. He was a survivor.
[01:03.95]I'm sure his life is really tough, but I felt a deep sense of
[01:09.76]Respect for him, much more than pity. Then I asked myself,
[01:15.07]Why did I react this way. It struck me, that here in this crazy
[01:21.20]World, there was a man, who drives no car, who flies no plane,
[01:26.46]Who heats no home; in a time of global warming his CO2
[01:32.33]Emissions are pretty much zero. This homeless man in
[01:40.15]Hollywood is a model urban citizen.
[01:45.84]
[01:48.46]I on the other hand, I live this life of good intentions,
[01:52.40]I travel the world, I try to be aware of the earth, I sing my songs,
[01:59.15]I look and hope for change. But out on the road, I fly everyday,
[02:03.84]I drive everyday, I heat my home, and burn up so much fuel
[02:13.28]That if everyone lived like me, we'd need about 4 planets
[02:16.90]Just to keep it all going.......................... Shit!
[02:21.84]
[02:23.34]Funny how a homeless man in Hollywood got me thinking....
[02:26.91]Men like him just walk the walk, and men like me...........
[02:32.34]Well, we talk a good talk....
[02:39.59]
[02:42.91]It was a homeless man in Hollywood...
[02:49.84]Homeless...
