"My wife [Barbra] and I were walking with a friend, and we walked over to Jerry [Rubin] and his buddy… my wife said to him… ‘Hey, Jerry, I really dug your speech.’… ‘I did like the part about private property being pure s_.’ And Jerry got into it and said: ‘Yea, well property is s_ and after the revolution we will divide everything up. Like there won’t be anything private. My shirt will be your shirt and my car will be your car. And it will be one big commune.’…Barbra went on. ‘That’s a fantastic Indian head band you have on Jerry.’ Retort: ‘Yea. It was given to me by a friend.’ Barbra: ‘Why don’t you give it to me?’ Jerry: ‘Huh?’ Barbra: ‘You said that private property was s_ so why won’t you give me your head band.’ Well, Rubin looked astonished and blurted out: ‘But it’s my head band.’"
