Annotation
This limited edition EP, circulated with the magazine Rag Baby, contained a couple Vietnam-related tracks. The song "Tricky Dick" , which portrayed Nixon as an artificial man, or robot, criticised his role in the economy and the ongoing Vietnam War: "the war keeps going on and on" . The song "Kiss My Ass" (Rag Baby Records # RAG 1003) took an anti-war position, similar to their famous 1965 song I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-to-Die-Rag. Narrated in the first person, a man went to the army recruitment office - as a volunteer - and the army "sent me to Saigon and they stayed home" . The man finished his army duty, and as a veteran back in the US he expressed opposition to the war: "we don't want your fuckin war" . It also criticised the army culture of taking orders.
