put on your red shoos and dance a way [Sep. 8th, 2015|07:42 pm]
To Pierre Elliott Trudeau
April 3, 1974

Dear Pierre:
I see by the papers that there is, and will continue to be, a great deal of confusion about streaking. It is just possible that I can be of some help here. The streaker is a “put on” in the same way that the stripper is. She takes off her clothes in order to “put on” her audience. Though nude, she is completely clad in her audience, as much as a model in a life class. It is when she steps backstage that she is naked, or minus her audience.
The streaker [nude runner] is putting on his audience because he wishes to be seen. He is a role-player and not a private person, therefore he hides his face and his name. His “put on" has to do with a grievance against what he feels to be a hypocritical society. The streaker and the striker are near kin, only the striker strips off the services which are the social clothing in order to “put on" his audience. It would be easy to enlarge this theme, but probably not necessary. The moral issue of decency or indecency is really irrelevant in view of streaking as essentially a political act of defiance and rebellion.

[In his reply the Prime Minister questioned why McLuhan thought streaking was essentially a political act of defiance; to him it had even greater significance as a rebellion against social values.]

Help beautify junkyards. Throw something lovely away today. [Sep. 8th, 2015|08:42 pm]
To Pierre Elliott Trudeau
March 26, 1974

Dear Pierre:
There may be some relevance in the questions that Clare Booth Luce asked recently [March 19], and my replies. First, her questions:

(1) How do you explain why Vatican II, which closed in a burst of ecumenical fervor that was expected to revive the faith of the Catholic world in the Church’s institutions and teachings was, instead, followed (and so soon) by the greatest loss of faith in them that we have seen sinee the Reformation? Was Vatican II the cause?
(2) Please explain why you think (or don't think) that the impeachment of R[ichard] N[ixon] is going to purify democratic politics and “restore integrity” to Government, and how this will help us control inflation, pollution, repair the breach with NATO, etc.
(3) What are your theories of money and of value? Why, for example, did those great Etruscan statues which stood for years in the Great Hall of the Met., praised by all the critics and admired by all the populace, valued in nine figures, suddenly become valueless when they were discovered to be forgeries? Are Value and Money, like Beauty, in the eye of the beholder ? Or, what other than life itself (and health in life) has intrinsic value?
