Oh, really?

Okay.

Well, when I get back after this and see myself in our photo today, I will get back to, I'll use four scoops.

Well, I was getting sleep during that time, too, which is why I didn't have a book on time.

One of the reasons.

One, I was going back to 1968.

It took a lot longer than I thought for this research.

And then, two, I was getting in shape at the same time.

I did music.

I did a playlist for it, put it on Spotify.

So I was doing that.

I was watching the Vietnam documentaries.

I was reading everything I could possibly find online.

on vietnam from the day um these old army special forces manuals that they had before the guys would go over there uh that talked about the mountain yard tribes they were going to be working with uh for those that are watching or listening it's like apocalypse now like the mountain yards like tribes and all that stuff so i was doing that um and uh then i was reading the more modern stuff too i was reading things from the 70s 80s i got um national geographic magazines from the 60s uh i think there's one from the late 50s even so i was doing everything i possibly could to transport myself back

I listened to some history podcasts about JFK, about Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, things that were happening here, about the election, Nixon's elections, everything that was happening in 1968.

I was just trying to immerse myself in that world so that when I sat down to this, I didn't have to do a huge shift.

And it was already had this – I was building on this foundation, whatever foundation I already had.

as then I sat down in front of the computer to write, rather than watching something here, contemporary, getting all upset about something that X is feeding me to keep me enraged, and then trying to jump back to 1968.

Instead, I just transported myself back there for, it felt like months at a time.

I think so.
