DOD 10

18..."no one knows what it's all about, too much man"
DOD 7

19..."that ain't no way to have fun" ...Ed
DOD 5

20..."lets ride with the family down the street" ..Hey 14
DOD 2

21..."two girls for every boy"..Ed

correct...

...a very timely somg in my life, and one of my all time favorites....I was at that age, draft lotterys, long hair, Easy Rider was my hero...seems goofy these days, but it was serious sh!t in 1970.....nearly everything Neil Young is involved in is my favorite....
