".... But I Didn't And I Know Why.

I'm STILL lettin' my freak flag fly!". Anybody remember when they called us young longhairs 'Freaks'? and we EMBRACED that shit! I LOVED it when those fuckers called me a Freak. "Fuckin' A-RIGHT!" I'd shout back. Right now my hair is the longest it's been since 1978. After being out of the Army for four years (and drinking Knox Orange flavored gelatin every day! Remember THAT shit? heh) I usta could SIT on my hair in '78! It's only down on my back, now, just past shoulder length. and ya' know? It's gettin' kinda long, and it's kinda in the way .... CSN - Almost Cut My Hair. The Extended, um, Cut.

I almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was gettin' kinda long
I could-a said, it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone

Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feelin' up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like lookin' at my mirror and seein' a police car
But I'm not givin' in an inch to fear
Cause I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone

When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in that sunny southern weather
And I find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it to someone
