“We are STARDUST,
We are GOLDEN!!!”
— Charles Barbier
“We are stardust
Billion year old carbon
We are golden
Caught in the devil's bargain
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden”
— Joni Mitchell, ‘Woodstock’
“Joni said it first but Charles Barbier said it best, banging a table for emphasis. For Charles it was an affirmation of the utmost significance, a call to arms as we pulled out our brushes and started to paint.” - Dean
