“An Open Letter To My Teenage Son” #10 12/2/1967

One of those 45's that came out of nowhere, then disappeared just as quickly. This spoken-word track was from Victor Lundberg, a radio newsman in Grand Rapids, MI, and was certainly one of the oddest records to ever make the Top 10. It was about as conservative as anything from the Sixties. The narrator makes nice but at the end tells his teenage son in no uncertain terms that if he burns his draft card, the kid should burn his birth certificate as well, disowning him. Pretty strident stuff.
