Peter refuses to throw away his ice cream because there are people starving in China. This whole scene (with the
other three ordering food they won't eat) is about American wastefulness.
"I'm the dummy Micky. I'm always the dummy." One of my favorite lines from the movie. Also, Peter looks
like an angel in this shot. I'm sure that's symbolic, but I'm not sure what it's a symbol of.
"Daddy's Song" is one of the few Davy songs that I really like. I'm also greatly amused by the fact that the girl
he dances with in this sequence is Toni Basil.
I love Frank Zappa. And talking cows. So this is like, the perfect scene for me.
Everything goes craaaaaazy. Except for Mike. I've always thought that this was a comment on Mike's serious
nature. No one was as adamant about gaining creative control as he was and he probably felt like the other three were
just 'partying.' The other reason it's here is because every counterculture movie made in the late '60s had to have
a psychedelic freak-out scene. It was the law.
