Catalogue Note

Three little scenes including a cop and a boy dressed as a cowboy: "Whip out some indenification" / "Eat me" — The same young cowboy screaming at Charlie Brown from  Schultz's "Peanuts": "I hear you rape tiny children" / "Lies, God damn, Lies". These were probably made by Morrison when he was in high school.
