In 1975, he led a country rock band called Nova’billy. (Examples of their performances of Flynt’s music are available on three published recordings.) In the same year, his book Blueprint for a Higher Civilization was published by Multhipla Edizioni, Milan. Flynt was in the Ph.D. program in Economics at the New School from 1970 to 1978, writing his dissertation on socialist economic administration. Flynt resumed making concept art in 1987.
