"We had no idea of the impact these songs would have, nor illusions about fame or legacy. We thought
we were just obeying the dictates of our generation - demand more freedom, have fun through art, and
sniff the winds of freedom."

Out of New York. The story goes something like, these guys
hung in the beat scene in Greeenwich village in the early '60's.
Folk and poetry. When Dylan (a Greenwich fixture) went electric, these
guys cheerfully followed, creating a sort of electric beat(nik) anarchy.
Notorious in the mid to late 60's, the stories went that while musicians
played behind them, one guy would stand in front swinging a mike
at head height on the end of its cord, while just out of striking
distance several other guys stood facing him, screaming obscenities
(they were probably reciting poetry, but the sixties were a time of
hyperbole and extremes of public perception) which went in and out
of audibility as the mike went around. Their reputation in the rock
world in those days occupied a similar space with Zappa's Mothers and
the MC5. Thanks to -PV
