Hey, you could always do it about the FAILED protests... you know, join the kids' cynicism, talk about how screwed up the world still is despite all the efforts made in the past... ask them how they think protest music is better now or should be done now!

Isn't it going to be a problem with the school administration if this presentation stirs up some action from the students? "Oh yeah, Fielding. Isn't he the guy that got the kids to burn down their school?"

Maybe the best thing you can do is follow your heart and NOT do the thing you were asked to do, but give them something else, something better. Give them something to counter the negativity... give them something lovely, something healing, something encouraging.... what do YOU think they really need, kids these days? I think THAT would be the really courageous and Fielding-like thing to do. Give them heart and humor and SENSE?
