"'Search And Destroy' -- The name came from a column heading in a Time magazine article about the Vietnamese war. I was sitting reading it, snorting big Chinese rocks of heroin under one of these grand English oak trees in Kensington Garden outside the Kensington Palace on a summer day in civilized Merrie Olde. I used to go out there to sit and write, wearing my leather cheetah jacket, leather pants, wraparound shades, and sit under this oak tree on a nice day and try to write songs. Once I had the title I knew what to do with it. It's mostly one vocal take, right at the top of my range. Williamson had the riff in that R.G. Jones 8-track and he started playing it and laughing, 'Kill it gooks!' I said, 'Geez, that's disgusting!' It has nothing to do with gooks! (laughter) The Stooges are all really horrible people, they're all really politically incorrect, much more than I was, much more, these guys were really like your basic American Archie Bunker juniors, all of 'em, real spuds.
