Dear CREEM: There’s a thing that needs straightening out.

Dear CREEM:
There’s a thing that needs straightening out. John Mendelsohn credits Bonzo Dog Band with the line used for the title of his column, “We Are Normal And We Want Our Freedom”. That line comes awfully close to one from Love’s Forever Changes album, “We’re all normal and we want our freedom,” which I believe preceded any Bonzo Dog albums. Whoever ripped off whatever from whomever, I think the incident goes to show the lack of attention being paid to what I think is a much underrated group, especially by people in Detroit.
