0:00:25.301,0:00:26.303
Hello!

0:00:26.303,0:00:31.656
My name is Gustavs Butelis,[br]my ID code is 190678-13111.

0:00:35.403,0:00:41.300
My bank account is[br]LV26HABA0551001792691.

0:00:49.610,0:00:55.345
My ZIP code, some say index,[br]but it's a code, is LV-1010.

0:00:56.186,0:01:00.421
Oh, the PIN code – 4242. Tell no one!

0:01:02.775,0:01:06.790
Door code – 1212A.

0:01:08.106,0:01:11.624
For some reason, ever since I was born

0:01:11.624,0:01:15.142
I have this feeling, that I am coded.

0:01:15.142,0:01:18.660
Because the moment I was born,[br]when I had just popped out,

0:01:18.660,0:01:20.762
there was a voice from above saying

0:01:20.762,0:01:22.947
– 190678.

0:01:22.947,0:01:24.741
– What?!

0:01:24.741,0:01:27.066
– 190678!

0:01:27.066,0:01:30.796
– Wait a second.[br]Don't I get a choice?

0:01:31.831,0:01:36.518
- You have already chosen, they say.[br]You crawled out today, and it’s 1906.

0:01:36.518,0:01:38.794
If you crawl out tomorrow,[br]it will be 2006...

0:01:38.794,0:01:40.725
But it's too late for that now!

0:01:40.725,0:01:43.859
I didn't have a calendar with me inside.

0:01:43.859,0:01:49.788
And so the ID code is 190678-13111.

0:01:51.790,0:01:53.326
Why am I telling you this?

0:01:53.326,0:01:57.198
It’s because I am coding you now,[br]so you know that my birthday is coming.

0:01:57.198,0:01:58.228
(Laughter)

0:01:58.228,0:02:03.933
That’s why I mentioned the bank account.[br]– (Applause) It’s all related.

0:02:04.674,0:02:05.876
Codes are everywhere.

0:02:05.876,0:02:09.370
Codes are everywhere,[br]but that’s a minor issue.

0:02:09.370,0:02:11.932
Also the thing is that[br]I have contradicted myself.

0:02:11.932,0:02:15.848
You see, I have been writing songs[br]for about 15 years.

0:02:15.848,0:02:21.034
If you compare songs created 10 years ago[br]with the ones created today,

0:02:21.526,0:02:26.420
it seems like they have been written[br]by two different people.

0:02:27.536,0:02:32.584
If the current Gustavs met[br]the other guy from 10 years back,

0:02:32.761,0:02:38.318
one of them would just get into[br]a misunderstanding with the other.

0:02:38.791,0:02:41.732
- What are you saying?

0:02:42.227,0:02:43.927
The difference is easy to see.

0:02:43.927,0:02:49.916
Then I was absolutely sure that, firstly,[br]dissing someone was a piece of cake.

0:02:50.758,0:02:55.091
In exchange, I got people’s reactions:[br]"Wow, you really can pull it off!"

0:02:55.091,0:02:57.070
And I thought, "Sure I can."

0:02:57.070,0:02:59.196
It was kind of a natural state for me.

0:02:59.196,0:03:01.242
Then I also listened to music like that.

0:03:01.242,0:03:06.070
I was convinced that when writing a song,[br]it has to be harsh.

0:03:06.070,0:03:10.944
People then said, "Where Gustavs spits,[br]the grass won't grow."

0:03:10.944,0:03:14.802
And I was like "Oh, stop it you!"

0:03:14.802,0:03:18.483
At the time I did lyrics like:

0:03:18.483,0:03:19.996
What’s up, huh?

0:03:19.996,0:03:21.634
Scratching nuts, huh?

0:03:21.634,0:03:23.288
In your sleep, huh?

0:03:23.288,0:03:24.926
Haven’t scored, huh?

0:03:24.926,0:03:26.548
Got pissed, huh?

0:03:26.548,0:03:28.155
Screwed up, huh?

0:03:28.155,0:03:29.512
Who's the man, huh?

0:03:29.512,0:03:31.540
'Cuz I rock the crowd, huh!

0:03:32.890,0:03:35.092
People told me it’s wonderful poetry.

0:03:35.092,0:03:36.634
(Laughter)

0:03:37.194,0:03:39.856
And I truly believed them.

0:03:39.856,0:03:41.082
I thought "Yes!"

0:03:41.082,0:03:45.706
(Laughter) (Applause)

0:03:45.706,0:03:51.099
To understand how good the lyrics were[br]for that time – it was 2004.

0:03:51.099,0:03:54.322
I got a National Music Award for this.[br](Laughter)

0:03:54.322,0:03:57.114
Means that these words resonate.[br]

0:03:57.794,0:04:01.536
They even resonate with some jury.

0:04:02.236,0:04:06.958
Well, I thought that when writing a song,[br]I needed to show who I am.

0:04:06.958,0:04:10.503
And while others may[br]express themselves gently,

0:04:10.503,0:04:14.048
put some romance into it,[br]I thought it was better to threaten.

0:04:14.048,0:04:17.594
Scare them so that they know!

0:04:17.594,0:04:19.651
So in the end what came out was like:

0:04:19.651,0:04:21.628
You know the way I am, right?

0:04:21.628,0:04:23.504
Like a snow pile on your head, kaboom,

0:04:23.504,0:04:25.874
the moment you start some shit...

0:04:26.694,0:04:31.086
These kind of sharp, punch-like lyrics

0:04:34.315,0:04:38.047
have become a norm in the hip-hop genre.

0:04:39.766,0:04:44.729
This genre as such started out[br]in New York back in late '70s.

0:04:46.497,0:04:51.278
This culture was meant to replace[br]the actual violence in the streets.

0:04:52.559,0:04:56.734
Possibly to an extent the genre[br]did bring the people closer together,

0:04:58.810,0:05:03.597
when actual street battles were replaced

0:05:04.492,0:05:08.708
by battles on a stage with rhymes,[br]or dance, or graffiti.

0:05:12.358,0:05:17.378
And that was cool too,[br]that physical fights were no longer there.

0:05:19.134,0:05:24.318
But the thing is, by putting all[br]of this aggression into lyrics,

0:05:24.520,0:05:27.396
it spreads at a much wider range.

0:05:27.896,0:05:33.246
It's not one guy I'm messing up anymore,[br]it's thousands of people.

0:05:33.344,0:05:38.897
If the song is a hit, millions of people[br]get involved in my aggression.

0:05:39.804,0:05:44.866
There's no official research on this,[br]but it seemed very interesting to me.

0:05:44.866,0:05:46.781
I looked at famous rappers’ biographies.

0:05:46.781,0:05:50.717
I was wondering what they were about,[br]how they were doing.

0:05:50.717,0:05:56.422
I knew how I was doing,[br]but I checked out their game, too.

0:05:56.422,0:06:02.485
So, if we take the top 5 guys, Jay Z, Nas,

0:06:02.485,0:06:07.488
the deceased 2Pac and Biggie,[br]and, let’s say, Eminem.

0:06:07.488,0:06:13.493
The list can go on, of course, but[br]these are the life stories I came across.

0:06:14.613,0:06:19.988
What confused and surprised me,[br]was that they all have identical stories.

0:06:22.260,0:06:26.416
All were abandoned by their fathers[br]in early childhood.

0:06:26.416,0:06:29.325
All had inner resentment because of this.

0:06:29.325,0:06:33.099
They started rhyming,[br]which was a way to express that.

0:06:33.099,0:06:35.240
No one was a good student at school,

0:06:35.240,0:06:39.177
they all had weak grades,

0:06:39.177,0:06:42.585
majority of them were expelled.

0:06:42.585,0:06:44.150
And then they started rapping.

0:06:44.150,0:06:49.798
They committed, put all of their energy,[br]their view of the world into rhymes,

0:06:50.203,0:06:53.697
that, at first, nobody cared about.

0:06:53.697,0:07:00.338
Encouraged by their friends to continue,[br]they did it over and over, created things,

0:07:00.338,0:07:04.160
and as a result, gained success and fame.

0:07:04.160,0:07:08.394
For some, the success was temporary,[br]while others still enjoy it.

0:07:08.394,0:07:13.588
Then I took a moment to look at myself[br]and saw that my story is identical.

0:07:14.864,0:07:20.472
As were those of my friends[br]that I started rapping with in mid '90s,

0:07:20.472,0:07:24.663
and of the ones that joined later.

0:07:24.663,0:07:29.787
So maybe it has nothing to do [br]with the genre at all.

0:07:30.046,0:07:36.500
Maybe I was attracted to these songs,[br]these images and these people,

0:07:36.500,0:07:42.341
because of our similar psychic state,[br]similar experiences and concerns.

0:07:43.298,0:07:45.760
Without even knowing their stories,

0:07:45.760,0:07:50.249
something clicked in the subconsciousness,[br]making me join the club.

0:07:51.759,0:07:56.200
Possibly, I didn’t realize at the time [br]that I'm attracted to it,

0:07:57.545,0:07:59.651
because my background was similar,

0:07:59.651,0:08:02.505
but when I started living it[br]and cultivating it,

0:08:02.505,0:08:05.359
I was only multiplying[br]and multiplying the effect.

0:08:05.359,0:08:08.215
That part wasn’t clear to me at that time.

0:08:08.215,0:08:12.372
It got me thinking about[br]how many people are bad at school,

0:08:12.372,0:08:15.013
grow up without a father[br]and cannot even imagine,

0:08:15.013,0:08:18.504
how close they are to becoming a rapper.

0:08:20.984,0:08:24.536
As a result, continuing with my songs,

0:08:25.605,0:08:29.749
at one point I noticed that[br]I started falling sick quite often.

0:08:30.271,0:08:32.297
The diseases were very diverse

0:08:32.297,0:08:36.210
– catching a cold several times a year,

0:08:36.906,0:08:42.149
continuously worsening asthma, [br]some pneumonias and finally shingles.

0:08:42.295,0:08:47.894
That's when I first understood that [br]I need to change something in the content,

0:08:47.894,0:08:50.324
that I could write something nice.

0:08:50.324,0:08:53.526
I could write something nice, [br]dedicate it to someone,

0:08:53.526,0:08:56.728
and just stop with the name calling.

0:08:56.728,0:08:59.931
So I wrote

0:08:59.931,0:09:03.426
"I simply melt every time [br]you cross my mind".

0:09:03.426,0:09:06.263
A simple phrase that shows my feelings.

0:09:06.263,0:09:08.653
And automatically I had[br]the next one in my mind:

0:09:08.653,0:09:11.350
"But you don’t have to come to me now!"

0:09:11.350,0:09:14.794
It’s simply enough that[br]I remember you and that's it! Shush!

0:09:18.684,0:09:21.132
And even when I keep the lyrics like that,

0:09:21.132,0:09:24.556
I have some people saying to me,

0:09:24.556,0:09:27.280
"Aha, Gustavs, you contradict yourself!"

0:09:27.280,0:09:30.354
Whoa, what? They say:

0:09:30.354,0:09:34.385
"Just a moment ago you said that it's pop.

0:09:34.385,0:09:39.938
Such words and such songs are pop,[br]and now you’re doing that yourself."

0:09:39.938,0:09:44.641
So I think to myself, well,[br]I just wanted to do what's best...

0:09:44.641,0:09:48.430
So if I wet my pants when I’m three,[br]but stop it when I’m five,

0:09:48.430,0:09:50.889
do I also contradict myself?

0:09:50.909,0:09:56.009
I better continue wetting them.[br]God forbid, I'm in conflict with myself.

0:09:56.009,0:10:00.037
What if someone thinks[br]that I’m not for real.

0:10:00.037,0:10:03.510
(Applause)

0:10:03.510,0:10:08.238
If I don’t learn and pick on the teacher[br]while I'm in school,

0:10:10.706,0:10:13.169
should I continue this afterwards,[br]when I quit?

0:10:13.169,0:10:17.949
Should I keep picking on my ex-teacher?[br]Probably not.

0:10:18.326,0:10:21.016
Contradicting yourself is a good thing.

0:10:21.016,0:10:23.962
It shows that there is[br]some kind of development.

0:10:23.962,0:10:29.036
So I started to think, what are the songs [br]that we hear today

0:10:29.825,0:10:33.717
and that often reflect[br]everyday relationships,

0:10:34.328,0:10:38.148
some issues in relationships,

0:10:39.769,0:10:43.980
or our current inner state[br]that we like or don’t like.

0:10:44.580,0:10:49.460
The idea is that you need to operate[br]both brain hemispheres to perform a song.

0:10:50.262,0:10:55.018
That means operating both the rational[br]and the emotional side and also the heart.

0:10:55.018,0:11:00.270
When we repeat some words often enough[br]we code ourselves and the ones around us,

0:11:02.775,0:11:04.550
the song becomes somewhat of a spell.

0:11:04.550,0:11:09.549
So I thought, if the words in a song[br]are a spell, what would I like to conjure?

0:11:09.806,0:11:16.244
I would like to conjure sincerity,[br]friendship, goal-orientation, integrity,

0:11:17.469,0:11:21.751
so that these values[br]are above national interests

0:11:25.182,0:11:27.795
or sexual interests, something higher.

0:11:27.795,0:11:32.960
So I had the opportunity and I decided[br]that I have to write something like that.

0:11:32.960,0:11:34.997
I arranged the music.

0:11:34.997,0:11:39.599
The piece that played[br]when I came on stage today.

0:11:39.599,0:11:45.098
I wanted to write a sort of a compliment[br]to the people and to my surroundings.

0:11:46.304,0:11:50.007
I sat down, grabbed a pen[br]and heard this voice in my head:

0:11:50.007,0:11:52.261
- Sugarboy!

0:11:52.261,0:11:54.135
(Laughter)

0:11:54.135,0:11:56.769
That was the inner voice, by the way.

0:11:56.769,0:11:59.459
I thought: "No, no, enough,[br]just write it, write it!"

0:11:59.459,0:12:03.835
- No, not like that. Don’t write that.[br]Everyone will think you're a sugarboy.

0:12:03.835,0:12:05.791
(Laughter)

0:12:06.131,0:12:09.678
Messed up! I know that’s not true.

0:12:09.678,0:12:11.984
It can’t be. So I sit down once more.

0:12:11.984,0:12:13.793
- Sugarboy!

0:12:15.653,0:12:16.932
This is how days go by.

0:12:16.932,0:12:17.914
More days pass.

0:12:17.914,0:12:19.641
The studio is already booked,

0:12:19.641,0:12:22.635
and I can’t put down a single line.[br]Not even one!

0:12:22.635,0:12:26.354
Dissing comes easy, but this -[br]this is difficult.

0:12:26.354,0:12:30.804
So I thought: "What's this?[br]Surely I can say something nice, right?"

0:12:31.894,0:12:34.064
Not today.

0:12:34.064,0:12:39.406
Merely a couple days are left[br]before studio work, so now I will write.

0:12:39.891,0:12:42.015
Now, that's it, now I will write.

0:12:42.805,0:12:44.422
No.

0:12:45.372,0:12:46.512
Some more time passes.

0:12:46.512,0:12:47.337
I’m thinking

0:12:47.337,0:12:50.332
- Now I’m feeling good,[br]now I could say something nice.

0:12:50.332,0:12:51.646
Now!

0:12:51.646,0:12:52.871
No.

0:12:53.321,0:12:57.302
So why is it that each time I want it now,[br]there is a "No" on the other side?

0:12:58.562,0:13:02.740
I start thinking: [br]"Codes and the Latvian language".

0:13:02.740,0:13:04.890
What if words can act as codes, too?

0:13:04.890,0:13:09.028
So what do we call the moment[br]that is happening now?

0:13:09.874,0:13:13.478
What is the synonym[br]of the word "currently"?

0:13:14.477,0:13:17.384
In Latvian it is "tagadnē"[br](LV: "tagad"=now, "nē"=not).

0:13:17.384,0:13:20.258
The code is already rigged inside.[br]Not now!

0:13:20.258,0:13:23.252
(Laughter)

0:13:23.252,0:13:26.526
(Applause)

0:13:27.853,0:13:31.574
All right then, if not now,[br]I will do it tomorrow.

0:13:31.574,0:13:36.593
In the future - "nākot-NĒ"[br](LV: "nākot"=coming, "nē"=not).

0:13:36.593,0:13:39.118
Well, why didn’t I do it yesterday?

0:13:39.118,0:13:42.181
Simply because it's "pagāt-NĒ"[br](Latvian: past tense).

0:13:42.181,0:13:45.836
Like a triangle with a No at each corner.

0:13:47.726,0:13:49.809
That is the way of the Latvian language.

0:13:49.809,0:13:51.984
I do not know who invented this,

0:13:51.984,0:13:54.547
why they did it[br]and what were their motives.

0:13:54.547,0:13:56.269
I checked other languages.

0:13:56.269,0:14:01.165
In Russian the other meaning for the word[br]"nastoyaschee" (present tense), is "real".

0:14:01.165,0:14:06.530
So you give a kiss and you feel[br]that it is now and it's real.

0:14:07.040,0:14:13.168
In English it's "Present",[br]that's a gift in itself. (Laughter)

0:14:14.712,0:14:18.321
Maybe that’s why they smile all the time.[br]They walk around and smile.

0:14:18.321,0:14:20.159
Everything comes as a gift to them.

0:14:20.159,0:14:25.497
They come here, stand somewhere smiling[br]and the Latvian looks at them and asks:

0:14:26.159,0:14:27.813
- Why are you smiling?

0:14:27.813,0:14:29.660
He answers, "Present".

0:14:29.660,0:14:34.554
And the Latvian goes, "Not now!" [br]Translating it literally.

0:14:41.461,0:14:45.283
So my father tells me that the "-nē"[br]in the Latvian word for the present

0:14:45.283,0:14:49.105
is nothing but an ending of the word.

0:14:49.105,0:14:52.929
And I know that it is just an ending,[br]and that this "nē" doesn’t mean "no".

0:14:52.929,0:14:55.407
But if we imagine that a child is born,

0:14:55.407,0:15:01.519
and soon he picks up the first words,[br]which are 'Mamma', 'Papa' and 'Nē'.

0:15:02.725,0:15:07.928
And he uses "Nē" million times more often[br]than the other two,

0:15:07.928,0:15:11.501
because he replies to everything with it.[br]No-no-no-no-no!

0:15:11.501,0:15:13.309
Do you want to sleep? No.

0:15:14.029,0:15:15.937
Are you hungry? No.

0:15:16.214,0:15:17.836
No-no-no everywhere.

0:15:17.836,0:15:20.362
In the end it comes down to conversations,

0:15:20.362,0:15:24.534
where each phrase starts[br]with the words "No, but...".

0:15:25.267,0:15:28.552
And then you say, "OK, if not this,[br]can I propose something else?"

0:15:28.552,0:15:30.196
- No.

0:15:30.196,0:15:34.394
- Listen, have you noticed[br]how often you say "No"?

0:15:34.394,0:15:37.371
You reply with "No" to every question.

0:15:37.371,0:15:39.941
- No, I don't!

0:15:39.941,0:15:41.628
- What? You just said it again!

0:15:41.628,0:15:43.510
- No!

0:15:43.510,0:15:45.917
- Do I need to record you?[br]Look, I’m recording.

0:15:45.917,0:15:47.017
- No.

0:15:47.017,0:15:48.744
- You see, you’ve just said "No"!

0:15:48.744,0:15:50.674
- No, well yeah... (Laughter)

0:15:50.674,0:15:53.049
He can’t even say "Yes"[br]without saying "No" first.

0:15:53.049,0:15:54.807
- No, well yeah!

0:15:57.177,0:16:01.148
You see that's how we all do:

0:16:01.419,0:16:04.001
We have science – "zināt-NE"[br](LV: "know"-"not")

0:16:04.001,0:16:09.578
Why not? Maybe you should know?[br]Science? Not.

0:16:10.401,0:16:14.157
Girl – "meite-NE".[br](Laughter)

0:16:14.437,0:16:17.644
That's how it goes.

0:16:17.644,0:16:20.711
These are the audible codes,[br]that we hear and pass on verbally.

0:16:20.711,0:16:22.382
There are also visual codes.

0:16:22.382,0:16:24.819
Visual codes can be very powerful.

0:16:26.149,0:16:30.402
A flag, for instance,[br]is a very strong visual code.

0:16:32.081,0:16:35.826
We honor it. It's our symbol.[br]That’s clear.

0:16:35.826,0:16:41.028
Everyone knows the legend, right?[br]The one about how this flag came to be?

0:16:41.028,0:16:46.286
Even more interesting is[br]that it's based on a single quatrain.

0:16:46.737,0:16:51.790
It mentioned warriors from Cesis walking[br]with a red-white-red flag.

0:16:52.228,0:16:55.872
And if I’m not mistaken,[br]one rector decided

0:16:55.872,0:17:00.066
to use it as a flag[br]for the National Song Festival.

0:17:00.066,0:17:02.562
And afterwards it became the Latvian flag.

0:17:02.562,0:17:08.478
The legend is about a bleeding warrior[br]placed on a white cloth.

0:17:11.335,0:17:16.928
And the shroud was then used[br]to scare the enemy.

0:17:17.157,0:17:21.344
Ok, it's 13th century,[br]scaring others is what they did.

0:17:21.344,0:17:25.505
Bloody, dirty,[br]that is their set of values.

0:17:26.610,0:17:29.244
In addition, this chief probably[br]was very skinny,

0:17:29.244,0:17:31.316
because that white stripe is so narrow.

0:17:31.316,0:17:35.435
Back in those days they also didn’t eat.

0:17:35.435,0:17:39.809
However, blood was more than plenty.

0:17:39.960,0:17:43.069
So what they did was walk around[br]and scare the enemy.

0:17:43.069,0:17:45.171
The enemy was mortified seeing that.

0:17:45.171,0:17:49.007
- Look, they whacked one of their own[br]only to make a flag! (Laughter)

0:17:49.007,0:17:52.843
(Applause)

0:17:54.823,0:17:56.681
That's why our army is the way it is.

0:17:56.681,0:17:59.816
Because one in every three guys[br]is wasted for a flag.

0:17:59.816,0:18:02.517
All the skinny ones at least.

0:18:06.147,0:18:11.106
Back then – it is clear.[br]Today - the symbolism is not so clear.

0:18:11.106,0:18:16.653
What does it mean, when we're holding[br]a bloody flag and yelling, "Not-now!"

0:18:17.076,0:18:20.694
We will end up wherever it takes us.

0:18:20.694,0:18:23.191
The anthem – awesome!

0:18:23.191,0:18:27.813
A great song. I read it, sang it[br]and enjoyed it.

0:18:30.607,0:18:34.915
Then we talked about it[br]and look where we ended up.

0:18:36.810,0:18:39.642
There's so much egoism in it.

0:18:39.642,0:18:41.748
God bless Latvia.

0:18:41.748,0:18:45.320
In other words - we are here, okay?

0:18:45.320,0:18:47.370
You should bless us.

0:18:47.370,0:18:49.484
Estonia – no,

0:18:49.484,0:18:50.664
Lithuania – no.

0:18:50.664,0:18:53.586
Well, Lithuania - a little bit,[br]but Estonia – totally not.

0:18:53.586,0:18:54.582
Russia – no.

0:18:54.582,0:18:57.505
Actually, you know what?[br]Don't bless us,

0:18:57.505,0:18:59.321
just make their life worse.

0:18:59.321,0:19:03.300
We’ll be fine with just that.

0:19:03.558,0:19:06.755
But you know God, right?[br]He is big and far away.

0:19:06.755,0:19:09.817
Maybe he is aiming from another galaxy.

0:19:09.817,0:19:11.820
He hears: "God bless Latvia,"

0:19:11.820,0:19:17.282
and then he shoots, the Earth turns,[br]and he misses and misses!

0:19:17.524,0:19:22.332
And we're like, "But why? Why Estonians?[br]Why couldn’t you do it for us?”

0:19:22.332,0:19:24.283
I'll tell you why.

0:19:24.283,0:19:29.735
If we were smarter and just wrote[br]"God, bless this World",

0:19:30.564,0:19:32.071
he wouldn't miss for sure.

0:19:32.071,0:19:34.046
(Laughter)

0:19:34.046,0:19:37.117
(Applause)

0:19:40.691,0:19:43.261
So that’s how it is.

0:19:43.697,0:19:46.151
Oh, one more thing!

0:19:46.151,0:19:50.518
There's the chorus:[br]"There, where our daughters bloom,

0:19:50.518,0:19:54.235
where our sons sing,[br]let us dwell in happiness".

0:19:54.235,0:19:55.812
So first just bless us,

0:19:55.812,0:19:59.907
and then we'll just bloom, sing and dance.

0:19:59.907,0:20:03.640
We don't feel like doing anything,[br]so just bless us.

0:20:03.640,0:20:07.297
And this is where the egoism[br]is taken to a higher level.

0:20:07.297,0:20:10.922
This is what we focus on,[br]basically our future.

0:20:10.922,0:20:13.897
We want to sing and dance [br]with a flag covered in blood,

0:20:13.897,0:20:15.912
yelling: "Not now!"

0:20:15.912,0:20:19.848
To get where? The future - not-coming!

0:20:19.848,0:20:22.987
I don’t know who wrote it,[br]when, and whose invention it was,

0:20:22.987,0:20:26.139
but today our vision[br]on where we want to go

0:20:26.139,0:20:28.911
is profoundly different.

0:20:28.911,0:20:31.873
We could incorporate[br]this vision in our symbols,

0:20:31.873,0:20:35.716
because it is possible that[br]the people who wrote this back then,

0:20:35.716,0:20:37.775
who came up with the whole language,

0:20:37.775,0:20:41.178
they also were sitting down[br]and intending to write something nice.

0:20:41.178,0:20:43.472
And the voice went: "Sugarboy!"

0:20:43.472,0:20:45.136
(Laughter)

0:20:45.136,0:20:48.060
So he goes like: "Not now!"

0:20:48.060,0:20:49.210
Thank you.

0:20:49.218,0:20:51.950
(Applause)
