SLEEVE NOTES:
“You were born in the 60’s. We made a war with Vietnamies. We love LSD. We died. Easily. Can we just say C’est la Vie? So what! Say what! For your pwn sake. Do you have a headache or heartbreak. Are you made or broken by the birthday cake. You may be slow on the uptake! I pour pot in the birthyday cake. So what! Say what! For my own sake. Watch out yo! Here I come yo! I’m gonna change to a rattle snake turn up the TV! Do you agree? I’, talking turkey. Take it from me. I’m gonna show my heart for my dove. But it’s moldy mom, isn’t it?”
