     (Romantic song about two lovers hiding under a bridge as soldiers march over. "Eating a rusted can of pork and beans," was recorded during late night sessions, as Coyote was the studio manager and had 24 hour access to the studio. The guitar solo is by a San Diego rich kid.)

     (Primitive caveman style song led by Rory G on slide guitar with rap style intro vocal by Coyote that our hippie says is not hip-hop or rap -- he calls it "beat poetry" or Beatnik poetry. Sounds like a mixture of early Johnny Winter and Jim Morrison of The Doors poetry.)

     (Weird guitar effects sound like violins attacking from the sky with a yin and yang guitar recording, one clean, one dirty.)
