Hey punk, where you goin' with that hair on your head?

Gosh, Jack, I'm not sure they really liked it! But I love it.

Buffalo Springfield, 1967: "Eighteen years of American dream."

Mothers of Invention, 1968
(When cynicism is a form of wisdom)

Hanged himself at his sister's home in 1976. He worried that the FBI had a file on him. Turns out they did.

Casual greatness, 1967

This is the song they oughta play at Commencement

You wanna do what? you wanna do what?
I told you what, I told you what 
You wanna do what? you wanna do what? 
I told you what, I told you what 

Go to school, go to school 
Just take, just take 
Dropout, dropout 
You getta job, you getta job 
Dunno whattit, dunno whattit 
What it's all about, what it's all about 

You told her ya love her, so bring her the butter 
You love her adapt her, you love her adapt her 
Adapt her adapter, adapt her adapter 
What about after that? what about after that?
 
Support her, support her 
She says she's no boarder 
Getta job, getta job 
You gotta support her 
You told her you loved her 
So bring her the butter 
You love her adapt her 
You love her adapt her 
Adapt her adapter....

Adapt her adapter, adapt her adapter
What about after that? What about after that?

(A cover of Captain Beefheart's "Dropout Boogie," 1967)
