The Kennedy School, it is so renamed in the movie, is actually a hotel, brewery, restaurant and bars owned by the McMenamins that was formerly a school. Yes, you can drink in a class room.

And what relationship was he to the director


Robert Altman received $75,000 for directing the film, the lyricist received about $2,000,000 due to royalties received because the song was used in the television series as well as for the movie.

as co-writers on the credits, so Michael Altman wrote half of it. I don't know the composer's name, but I know he was a respected professional in the trade.


$75K was some serious jingle in 1969; I believe it was more than what a typical CEO was making.

Pretty heady and poignant shit for a fifteen-year-old kid to lay to paper

Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be
The pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see


That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

That game of life is hard to play
I'm gonna lose it anyway
The losing card I'll someday lay
So this is all I have to say


Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The sword of time will pierce our skin
It doesn't hurt when it begins
But as it works its way on in
The pain grows stronger, watch it grin


Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

A brave man once requested me
To answer questions that are key
"Is it to be or not to be?"
And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?"


Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I...

Suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

The opening credits had the full 'Wrecking Crew' polished rendition (which is what we heard on the radio), while the fake funeral scene was simpler, with just a guitar and solo singer.

I'm not even sure if we heard any lyrics in the TV series, but Robert Altman's son was credited as co-writer so he made out like a bandit.

He was only addressed by his first name once - when Major Armbruster was preparing him to go to see General Worden and get the assignment to lead the Dozen.
