Story Behind The Song

This song was written by The Hippy Coyote while residing in Salt Lake City, Utah. It's a little sarcastic as it represents The Coyote's inner joy despite the difficulties of being a long-haired Buddhist in a Mormon Church of the Latter Day Saints world that was hostile and unChristian towards him. The story of Coyote's life in Utah is detailed in his first two albums, LEVEL 1 = PEACE OF MIND, and LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER. These two albums and the accompanying website stories and poems at http://www.americanZEN.org detail his adventures and tribulations in Utah. The album can purchased at http://www.level2christkiller.com
