White Power Ballads

In my dream I was standing by a highway near my childhood home, waiting for a parade to come by. It was summer, and there were a few yard sales along the road that i decided to check out. I was going through this one guy's stuff and I found a couple cool records. I wound up chatting with the guy and he seemed like a cool dude. I figured anything he recommended would be pretty interesting. He wound up suggesting that I buy this one record that had an awesome cover (although I don't remember what it looked like), and he told me it was an amazing psych band from the sixties, kind of like the Monks. I said I was a fan of the Monks, and he said, no not "the Monks", rather this band was made up of all ordained monks. I looked through it and discovered that the album title was "I'm a White Supremacist." I thought maybe it was ironic or something. Then I looked at the lyrics on the inside of the gatefold, and the only ones listed were for the title track. The chorus went "I'm a white supremacist/ the implications are rele" (i don't know why real was spelled rele, but it was). The guy said it was kind of polka-influenced. I began to question his judgement.

Then my dad came over and said that his two kids would be there soon. Yeah, turns out my dad had two kids from a previous marriage. Then somebody called me and I woke up.
