Although released in 2004, this album was recorded in 1966, documenting the garage punk band the Insurrections, which featured Flynt, Walter De Maria and Paul Breslin.
The song \"Go Down\" was about the protest movement on the home front. Flynt called on people to head down to Washington and oppose President LBJ's Vietnam war policy:

\"Go down to the picket line and let Johnson know
You won't fight his dirty wars no more
You won't burn a peasant, napalm bomb
You won't find girls in the bars of Saigon
You don't want to see the hatred....
They're sending folks away, and you have to pay
The draft board call up and you have to die
Go down to Washington and let Johnson know\"
