Almost Cut My Hair - Crosby, Stills & Nash

Almost cut my hair
It happened just the other day
It's gettin kinda long
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freak flag fly
Cause I feel like I owe it to someone

Once Upon a Time in the West (1968)

"You know, Jill, you remind me of my mother... She was the biggest whore in Alameda, and the finest woman that ever lived. Whoever my father was, for an hour or for a month, he must've been a happy man."
