White collar conservative flashing down the street. Pointing their plastic finger at me

Edited on Sat Sep-24-11 10:23 AM by NNN0LHI

Jimi had this stuff figured out in the 60's

If six was nine - Written by Jimi Hendrix

If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea, let it be
It ain't me

Cause I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you

Now if a six turned out to be nine
I don't mind, I don't mind,
If all the hippies cut off all their hair,
I don't care, I don't care

Cause I've got my own world to live through,
And I ain't gonna copy you

White collar conservative flashing down the street
Pointing their plastic finger at me,
Hoping soon my kind will drop and die
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high

1. There is a great funk album called Axiom Funk: Funkranomicon.

Bootsy Collins (and others) does a fantastic cover of If Six was Nine.

5. I'm the one who has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life -

the way I want to.

One of the most influential texts in the development of my identity.

9. Listen & watch here,

...and if you are as old as I am,
be prepared to shed some tears.

Here is the entire cut.
The one from Easy Rider was clipped.

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

Solidarity!
