Vijftig jaar oud, we kunnen er wel iets mee nu. ‘Almost Cut my Hair’ is van januari 1970, en dan had David Crosby, die de tekst en de muziek schreef, met Kerst ’69 ook nog de griep gehad. Nog steeds een geweldig nummer, net als dat hele Déjà Vu album van Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

Almost cut my hair . . .
Happened just the other day
It’s gettin’ kind of long
I could’ve 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, yeah … to someone, yeah
Well, must be because I had the flu this Christmas
Oh, yeah and I’m not feeling up to par
Oh, I tell you baby this increases my paranoia
Yeah, like looking in my mirror and seeing a police car
Well, well, I’m not, I’m not giving in an inch to fear
Well, you know I’ve promised myself this year
Well, I feel oh, like I owe it, I owe, I owe it to someone
Oh … like I owe it to someone
Oh, yes when I get myself together
Yeah, you can find me in that sunny southern weather, yeah
I’m goin’ to find a space inside a laugh, yes
Separate the wheat from some chaff
Oh, and I feel …
Like I owe it, yeah … to someone
