- Bloomdeedoe's propositioned relationship of frequency spectrum to
- socioeconomic status [gals, note: on this point he addresses the "guys" cuz us
- gals shore don't know shit about relationships exceptin' for that dubhussy
- sexhound dingbat Carol] puts ME in a fine kettle of fish. On his propositioned
- teeter-totter where the list-members ride high and the proverbial gas station
- attendant rides low, guess where *I* am? Yeah. I always have and always will
- ride the bass and I'm proud OF it. And I can change the oil in my 75
- Chevy and I'm proud OF it.
-
- But I forgive the Bloomdophorous EVERYTHING because of his wondrous remark,
- "Dada always makes you look smarter than you are, which is one of the lingering
- charms of those of us of an adolescent persuasion." Now DAT ain't no ZAPPA
- lyric.
-
- Hokay, moving right along. I was interested in how you would define
- "psychedelic music" in MUSICAL terms, i.e. my cute little qualifier in adorable
- parens meant precisely that I _didn't_ need to be told that "the music was
- often used coincident with the chemicals" (duh). I want to know
- how you would
- define that kind of music _as music_. Give it another try, huh?
-
- Lazlo... I refer to "the amazing real-life actual correspondence of Lazlo Toth,
- American" (by Don Novello). You gotta read the real McCoy but here's just a
- tidbit, a letter mailed on November 1, 1973 to:
-
- President Richard M. Nixon (the best)
- The White House
- Washington, D.C.
-
- Dear Mr. President,
-
- Fight! Fight! Fight!
-
- I'm with ya!
-
- Sincerely,
-
-
- Lazlo Toth
- voting for Richard M. Nizon
- since 1952!
-
- *************
- OK, just one more, kids, and then it's bedtime.

- March 6, 1974
-
- Mr. H. R. Haldeman
- c/o The White House
- Washington, D.C.
-
- Dear Mr. Haldeman,
-
- I have always been a fan of yours and have always stuck up for you. However,
- after seeing you on television last night I was terribly disappointed.
-
- I believe you are completely innocent but you are hurting your own image with
- that long hair. Just because you lost your job doesn't mean you shouldn't keep
- up your appearance!
-
- Maybe if you get a good American flat top like you used to have our President
- will find some other job for you.
-
- I don't mean any disrespect. I just liked you better before. Didn't you ever
- hear the saying, "Don't change boats in the middle of the river"? The same
- goes for hair! And yours was so nice! It reminded me of Tab Hunter.
-
- Best of luck. Stand by our flag!
-
- Still a supporter,
-
-
- Lazlo Toth
