"Oh Come All Ye Mindless..." ......... .......Free Speech Carols (Berkeley 1964)

Garage sale-ing in the Bay Area could be ideological. You always had a good chance of finding some leftist literature or protest music from aging radicals. And they might say "Ah, I remember that...." as a way of saying goodbye and thanking you for taking it off to a good home... or they might just be glad to unload their crap. In any case, this little 7-inch record is a remarkable and funny collection of carols by members of the Free Speech Movement. Merry fucking Christmas.

In the spirit of farce, and of Christmas, these songs were written and sung. We of the FSM are serious, but we hope we are still able to laugh at ourselves, as well as those who would restrict our Constitutional freedoms.
