Hair: 3-5-0-0

Ripped open by metal explosion
Caught in barbed wire
Fireball
Bullet shock
Bayonet
Electricity
Shrapnel
Throbbing meat
Electronic data processing
Black uniforms
Bare feet, carbines
Mail-order rifles
Shoot the muscles
256 Viet Cong captured
256 Viet Cong captured
Prisoners in Niggertown
It's a dirty little war
Three Five Zero Zero
Take weapons up and begin to kill
Watch the long long armies drifting home

Things were more black and white back then. Compare and contrast, as my English teacher would say.

Something about this song.

Skip to 1:19 time stamp. I love this cast. That's Kim Milford as the dead hippie. He was the Golden Haired Creation in the original Rocky Horror on stage.

When they sang "let the sunshine in", they invited the audience onto the stage.

I'm trying to bring my old counterculture self to the present. It's so different.
