My Pet Theory

The Sixties was really stupid Okay, can you expand on that a little bit more why you think the Sixties were really stupid? Well, it was the type of merchandising Americans had this hideous weakness, y'know? They have this desire to be okay-fun-guys-and-gals And they haven't come to terms with the reality of the situation We were not created equal Some people can do carpentry, some people can do mathematics Some people are brain surgeons, and some people are winos And that's the way it is! And, we're not all the same! And this concept of one world is when everything blended and Smoothed out to this mediocre norm, that everybody, uh Downgrades themselves to be, is stupid And the Sixties was merchandised to the public at large My pet theory about the Sixties is, that there is a sinister plot behind it But I don't wanna dwell upon that Okay Okay? They just that the lessons learned in the Sixties about Merchandising stupidity to the American public on a large scale have been Used over and over again since that time "Freak Out!" and "Absolutely Free" influenced a generation Did they? Didn't sell that much How they influence a generation? Come on, tell me That's what my questions says here But that wasn't a question, that was a statement Then it was my statement Looking back over all these years and these records How do you feel about them now? About "Freak Out!" and "Absolutely Free"? Hrm, okay, for something that was done as a four-track-recording twenty years ago Y'know, I wouldn't sit around listening to them You don't think that they had any influence on people? Well, I know, that a lot of people were vastly influenced by them I've heard horror stories about that But so what? They weren't released to be influences They were released as a form of entertainment for people who Uh, didn't have that type of entertainment before You once said, listen, now that I'm thirty years old Now that I'm over the hill I really don't give a shit, I don't care Now, that you're over forty, any comments? Said it once, do I need to say it again?
