The music that was being played on the radio at the end of 1966 was absolutely incredible and this song was one of the best. Other songs like this were "Talk TalK" by The Music Machine, "I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)" by The Electric Prunes and "(We Ain't Got) Nothin' Yet" by The Blues Magoos made this era in music very exciting. Of course "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone by The Monkees was at the top of the charts then too.

I first heard this in '68 when I was 8. It and "Dirty Water were on the same compilation LP (KIRL Super Hits) and those two songs changed my life. They both said to me "This is who and what I am, and if you don't like it, I'm sorry. If all you're gonna do is put me down, get out of my way and leave me be." Later I was told it was just another guy-gal relationship-at-war tune, but I'd like to think it could also be interpreted the way I originally perceived it.
@manka6 I've been a caregiver,manual laborer,and a soliciter for charities among other things.I've dabbled in art,poetry,and had a ton of letters critical of the George W. Bush administration (as well as other social injustices) published in the now-defunct Los Angeles CityBeat newspaper than I can count (and I was called a malcontent for it).Am I "free"?--well, that's a state of mind,but my life is OK so far.Sky Saxon's clarion call still resounds within me today,and I'm sure with others too.
ever since i got my portable speaker i've been playing this song over and over again as i walk down the streets no doubt getting strange looks but im merely bringing back real music thats almost totally disappeared from the musical scene
I can't believe he wrote this song in 15 minutes, that's how great he was, priceless!
I wish I could go back to the 60's and I can't get enough of this song
