Antiquated Systems

In response to THE CRUISE clip about the grid, I was thinking about this scene from Easy Rider where they talk about aliens.  The best part is cut off where George says,

"Why don't they reveal themselves to us is because if they did it would cause a general panic. Now, I mean, we still have leaders upon whom we rely for the release of this information. These leaders have decided to repress this information because of the tremendous shock that it would cause to our antiquated systems. Now, the result of this has been that the Venutians have contacted people in all walks of life - all walks of life. [laughs] Yes. It-it-it would be a devastatin' blow to our antiquated systems - so now the Venutians are meeting with people in all walks of life - in an advisory capacity. For once man will have a god-like control over his own destiny. He will have a chance to transcend and to evolve with some equality for all."

Also:

I think the dance scene from Pulp Fiction references this scene from Goddard's Band A'part
And I probably don't have to mention that Tarantino's production company is called "Band Apart".
