uniting the counterculture and New Left activism at Berkeley, citing its adoption by Michael Rossman of the Free Speech Movement, who described it as an expression of "our trust in our future, and of our longing for a place fit for us all to live in". A writer for the P.O. Frisco commented in 1966, "the Yellow Submarine may suggest, in the context of the Beatles' anti-Vietnam War statement in Tokyo this year, that the society over which Old Glory floats is as isolated and morally irresponsible as a nuclear submarine." At a Mobe protest, also in San Francisco, a yellow papier-mâché submarine made its way through the crowd, which Time magazine interpreted as a "symbol of the psychedelic set's desire for escape".

In Rossman's adoption of the song's message, it represented a way of thinking introduced by the Beatles, who "taught us a new style of song", after which, "The Yellow Submarine... was launched by hip pacifists in a New York harbor, and then led a peace parade of 10,000 down a New York street." The theme of friendship and community in "Yellow Submarine" also resonated with the ideology behind the 1967 Summer of Love. Derek Taylor, the Beatles' former press officer who worked as a music publicist in Los Angeles in the mid 1960s, recalled it as "a kind of ark... a Yellow Submarine is a
