...billboards go, it's a real stopper-a huge closeup photo of a pimply faced, wild-haired hippie, mounted on a ghastly yellow background and bearing the message, in red and black letters: BEAUTIFY AMERICA, GET A HAIRCUT. The poster has lately appeared on roadsides across the nation, generating no end of speculation about who or what is behind the campaign...
They come onstage like three hippies and an undertaker's assistant: a blond-mustached leader who looks like a young General Custer in buckskin and beads, a guitarist wrapped in a double-breasted blue jacket and a pageboy haircut, a woolly thatched drummer who appears to be wearing an entire rummage sale-and a gaunt, somber bassist in black mufti.

I'd put these odds and ends out in front in Viet Nam to fight with the enemy in front and bayonets in back...
