I have a question for those of you out there with a deeper understanding
of all things cosmic. Remember the movie "Hair"? Remember the war rally
scene that takes place on the Mall in Washington D.C.? Now for the big
one; remember the song that is sung in this scene? The lyrics go something
like this "It's a dirty little war. 3-5-0-0. Take weapons up and begin
to kill"... Well, my question is: what is 3-5-0-0 refering to? Anyone
out there know?
Also, while we are on musical numerology, what is the significance of the
song "25 or 6 to 4"? Help me out on these, o.k.?

I always thought (and probably wrongly) that 3-5-0-0 is the year 3500. As for 25 or 6 to 4, there were, at the time, two explanations I was familiar with. The "straight" version said it was 25 or 26 minutes to 4 o'clock. The "cool" version said it was LSD 25 and 6 to 4 was one of the drug's mixture ratios. I guess either version would fit the lyrics.
