  |  The album is designed as a satire of language-learning records, where  |
  |  the secret language of the 'hipster' is treated as a foreign           |
  |  language. Part of the joke, however, is that it actually does a good   |
  |  job of describing the Beat Generation/Beatnik sub-culture: Basic       |
  |  concepts such as "cool" and "uncool" are taught, as well as            |
  |  vocabulary building ("dig", "dig it", "dig yourself, baby", "dig the   |
  |  chick", "dig the cat", "What a drag!").                                |
  |                                                                         |
  |  Many of the phrases and expressions survived to become elements of     |
  |  the counterculture vocabulary.                                         |
  |                                                                         |
  |  Social notes are presented as for many language courses, and later in  |
  |  the album, the teacher (Close) is taken on field trips into the        |
  |  secret life of the hipster (Brent). However, the hipster rebels        |
  |  against participating in the teaching tool, leading to a humorously    |
  |  compromised teaching style.                                            |
  |                                                                         |
  |  Track 12 contains an excerpt of 'We Free Kings' by Rahsaan Roland      |
  |  Kirk. The album came with a booklet expanding on the concepts          |
  |  discussed in the album, providing a supplementary reading list, and    |
  |  so on.                                                                 |
  |                                                                         |
  |  The album was illustrated in a style of line drawing popular           |
  |  throughout the 50s (similar to the early commercial work of Andy       |
  |  Warhol). The woodcuts used as illustrations on the LP were stolen      |
  |  from Close's Chicago apartment in the 1980s.                           |
  |                                                                         |
  |                                                                         |
