Description
Letting My Freak Flag Fly was inspired jointly by the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song "Almost Cut My Hair", and by the annual Telluride Mushroom Festival, in the mountains of Telluride Colorado. I'll be attending the festival in cahoots with friends involved in Fungi Magazine, and can be found offering my art at the Fungi Mag booth.
*****
Almost Cut My Hair, lyrics by David Crosby, as performed by CSNY
I almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It was gettin' kinda long
I could-a said, it was in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
And I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had the flu for Christmas
And I'm not feelin' up to par
It increases my paranoia
Like lookin' at my mirror and seein' a police car
But I'm not givin' in an inch to fear
'cause I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together
I'm gonna get down in some sunny southern weather
Find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
I feel like I owe it to someone

Trippy mushrooms of red, yellow, orange and green, seem to dance against a colorful, psychedelic backdrop, in this abstracted painting of organic forms. I hope it makes you want to listen to music and participate ecstatically in the universe!
