Frank Zappa - Who Needs The Peace Corps? Lyrics
Frank Zappa (guitar, piano, lead vocals)
Billy Mundi (drums, vocals, yak)
Bunk Gardner (woodwinds)
Roy Estrada (electric bass, vocals)
Don Preston (retired)
Jimmy Carl Black (drums, trumpet, vocals)
Ian Underwood (piano, woodwinds)
Motorhead Sherwood (soprano, baritone saxophone)
Suzy Creamcheese (telephone)
Dick Barber (snorks)
What's there to live for?
Who needs the peace corps?
Think I'll just DROP OUT
I'll go to Frisco
Buy a wig & sleep
On Owsley's floor
Walked past the wig store
Danced at the Fillmore
I'm completely stoned
I'm hippy & I'm trippy
I'm a gypsy on my own
I'll stay a week & get the crabs &
Take a bus back home
I'm really just a phony
But forgive me
'Cause I'm stoned
Every town must have a place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up every street
GO TO SAN FRANCISCO
How I love ya, How I love ya
How I love ya, How I love ya Frisco!
How I love ya, How I love ya
How I love ya, How I love ya
Oh, my hair is getting good in the back! Every town must have a
place
Where phony hippies meet
Psychedelic dungeons
Popping up on every street
GO TO SAN FRANCISCO...
Hotcha!
First I'll buy some beads
And then perhaps a leather band
To go around my head
Some feathers and bells
And a book of Indian lure
I will ask the Chamber Of Commerce
How to get to Height Street
And smoke an awful lot of dope
I will wander around barefoot
I will have a psychedelic gleam in my eye at all times
I will love everyone
I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the
street
I will sleep...
I will, I will go to a house
That's, that's what I will do
I will go to a house
Where there's a rock roll band
'Cause the groups all live together
And I will join a rock & roll band
I will be their road manager
And I will stay there with them
And I will get the crabs
But I won't care

Well, there was also a car full of negroes next to Glencar once, and he thought they looked SHIFTLESS. Except for one of them who seemed downright uppity.

Sir Stonesalot, is that you? Groovy, or should I say, far out! 
I used to have a very ideal image of the whole hippie thing in my mind - and partly, I still do. The whole colorful scene, the music, the expanding freedom and the long hair, man! One of the eras I'd love to have witnessed first-hand.
Then of course it all went downhill, the drugs took over, yesterday's love children are today's greedy politicians, "it's going to get cold in the 1970's" and all that. But it was good while it lasted.
When I was 15 or so, I used to exchange e-mails with a "modern hippie" from the States, who always wrote in such hippish  language and promised to come meet me some day "with a bag of homegrown". Jeez, the horror I used to be so fascinated with all that! So forbidden, against the law and dangerous - or so it seemed, at least. Reality ain't so pretty!
I lost track of him, last time he said he was going on a trip to the mountains, but who knows. Grasshopper was his nick.

Where did he live at?? I know a guy ick-named "Grasshopper" but he's a truck driver and thats his CB tag. He may have been a modern hippie years back. |

One time whist getting back into my car at a NJ rest stop, a Lexxus full of Republicans
pulled up next to me. They were all drinking blood and
their vanity plate was "EVIL 666"! I have no problems with GOP ideals - oh wait, yes I do!
SS - I know it's not you, is that BLUE in that picture?

Did they throw trash at your "beater car" & now you're all angry at Republicans? And it's "Lexus" although I'd never buy a Toyota shit product again. I vow to support America's inferior car companies till my death. |

Yes, but Zappa was a junkie, tobacco is a heavy drug and strongly addictive; Zappa was hooked on it and passed by cancer, not in the lung but the prostate, probably because of his strong addiction to it
BTW, I'm a Zappa fan, have all the vinyls and a lot of CDs and bootlegs, saw him at the Palladium in Halloween! Great musician but a bad example for young people LOL |

Back in the day when I was a long haired fabulous furry freak brother Dead Head,I used to believe in the bullshit hippie clap-trap rhetoric. Hell I saw the Dead well over 100 times! I did the whole 1985,'86,and '87 Eastern tours! In 1990 I even caught about 15 shows out West. The best of which were at Red Rocks in Colorado,and in San Fran.
I took me that many fucking Dead shows before I relized that the vast majority of the Heads were clueless fucks on the fast track to nowhere. They were nothing but patchouli reeking sheep! They embraced stupid philosophical horse shit ideologies,and tried to convince everyone that socialism was the beauty of Hippiedom. Share and share alike. The fact the most of them were dosed on LSD,shrooms,and ounces of weed at a time should have been my first clue that they were full of shit,and had the mental capacity of the average garden slug. But hell,I was right there digging the whole scene myself! Reveling in the whole "Summer of Love part duex"! Then reality hit me in the face,and I realized why the whole Dead Head/hippie movement was full of shit. It was based on a beautiful lie,but a lie all the same.
These people would love to have you believe that they were happy go lucky flower children seeking a higher level of spirtual oneness(whatever the fuck that means!),but the truth was far from beautiful,and not a goddamned one of us smelled like flowers! I had more shit stolen from me on these Dead tours than I can really remember. From a suitcase full of over 200 bootlegs out of my van,to countless homemade tye-died t's,to just getting beat on bunk dope. They were a bunch of goddamned hypocritic fucks that took advantage of anyone that would be kind enough to give them a lift to the next show,or grant them their umpteenth "miracle" of the tour! They don't like to actually pay for their tickets!! Hell no! That would be to play into the hands of the evil capitalists!!
Naw. I've been there,done that,thank you very much.
I must concur with old Winston on this one,"If you're not a liberal in your youth you have no heart. If you're not a conservative as you age you have no brain."
Let's just say that I have loads of heart,but now I also have a brain. Hippies are dead anyway. Just ask Jerry Rubin.

There were no Bush geeks on tour back in the day! Winny did,infact say that line Moonie! I could give you the biography where I lifted it from if you'd like. Though I must admit that I may have been paraphrasing the exact quote,but ya get the gist.
He also said,"Where's my scotch!"
Riffy
Uhhh ummmm,I need to make a correction! You Moonie are correct sir. I just perused over the Churchill bio that I was refering to,and lo and befuckinghold! There it was! It states that this famous quote has been falsly attributed to Churchill for decades,but that it is fact not a Churchill quote. So I stand corrected. However,I still concur with it's sentiments.
I also pulled this from my favorite Churhill quote site on the net as further proof of my wrongheadedness.
""Conservative by the time you're 35"
"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. Paul Addison of Edinburgh University makes this comment: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"
He did say,"Where's my scotch?" though. This much I do know!

I must say that I did what most kids do when they go away for higher education. I got higher. In doing so I became enamored with this Dead Head chick,and,well,one thing led to another and I ended up being brainwashed by the great unwashed masses of Dead sheeple.
Today I hang my head in shame,and wonder how I kept from killing half of those morons. The fucked up thing about them is that they hated the Stones by and large. I was considered rather freakish for digging the Stones. Which was pretty strange. I mean when a Stones fan is considered a freak by a dreadlocked bearded white kid wearing a tye-dyed skirt you know you have entered the Hippy Twilight Zone.
It was a long time ago,and I have repented many many times.

Hmm, I'm afraid I don't remember... I have the distinct impression it could have been Alabama, but I'm not that sure. And I've lost all my older e-mails after a pc crash so a mystery it will remain. |

being a Deadhead was fun...great trips, great music often, got to see the country--I personally bathe at least once a day, even on the road, but unfortunately there was a minority who had the bathing habits of the French---a belief that thrice weekly patchouli oil applications can substitute for bathing--a trend some Phish fans have regrettably taken up
it's always a few bad apples....
My 100th and final show was my birthday at Giants Stadium in 1995

Tour rats are hardly representative of all deadheads, phish-heads or self-proclaimed hippies or whatever the fuck you want to call them.

That's very cool that you got to see him on Halloween. What year was that?
I have spent the past couple months really listening to his entire catalog and it's been quite fun.
Do you really consider someone who smokes a junkie? He was a big anti-drug advocate, no?
I really enjoy his stuff with the Mothers the most, I guess, although he had several brilliant albums throughout the eighties that I like. |
