The Bloodless Battle Of The Badge: The Press at Monterey Pop
Derek Taylor, World Countdown News, July 1967
THE CLEAN YOUNG man at the window said he was from the Los Angeles Times and there was nothing in his face to say he wasnt, except that we know he wasnt because if he had been, Pete Johnson (who was) would have said there was someone else who was as well. Pete Johnson tells you when he is going to tie his shoelace or comb his hair and he wouldnt have forgotten to mention another LA Times man.
