Ya know, considering where we live, you'd think we'd hear this song all the time, but we don't.  It's actually nice to hear.

BTW, I saw the late comments about Drano for yesterday.  Horrible stuff.  I guess part of the confusion comes from the phrase "OD'd on Drano...".  There's really no safe dosage.

indeed, it's gotta be an ATBB -- Dave never played it that I can recall.  Of course, what station would these days? -- it's too "old" even for KOIT.

BOS "Love Street," my favorite Ray Manzarek melody.

BOS2 to Goldie Hawn and Dave Thomas of Laugh-In.

HM to the 5-D, but what does "surrey" mean?

BOS2 Laugh-in; BOS3 the fab 5-D, surrey-ing (WTF *is* surrey-ing, anyway?) with Ms Nyro.  I swore it sounded like they're saying "trains of possums" instead of "blossoms". Because, y'know, when I was 13 I figured black people ate possum.

surrey: "two-seated, four-wheeled pleasure carriage," 1895, from Surrey cart, an English pleasure cart (introduced in U.S. 1872), named for Surrey, England, where it was first made. The place name is O.E. suþrige (722), lit. "Southerly District" (relative to Middlesex).

Maybe in the song they were riding in a carriage to a Stone Soul Picnic??

I imagine surrying as being kinda like sashaying or maybe swaggering.  Or...sauntering.  That's probably the best.  Grooving on down, doncha know?

The rumor (I got this from Alex Bennett years ago, no idea if it's ever been confirmed) was that Mr Webb liked boys -- very young boys. And that due to his Dragnet fame he was beloved by the LAPD, who covered up for him and made certain things disappear. The Jack Vincennes character in LA Confidential (played by Kevin Spacey in the movie) was supposedly inspired by this.

hmm, I'm dubious.   I don't think that (even) the LAPD would allow this to happen without a little "payback."  Not sure if prosecuting for child molestation was commonplace back then -- maybe the charge would have been "indecency" or something...?  Of course, maybe Jack Webb did get the hell beaten out of him up over these alleged incidents, but seriously, why haven't more folks come forward with confirmation of this?

ETA: Now I will believe any rumor you float about Kevin Spacey!  I recall a story a few years back where he got mugged in a London Park at about 3 AM.  He couldn't sleep, so he took a stroll...  yeah, that's it.

oh how lovely!  BOS5 the fabulous underrated Troggs.
Didn't they do "Cups and Cakes" too?  And "Listen to the Flower People".

Haha, nice.

"Jennifer Juniper" is just too precious for me.

if someone wrote it today I'd agree -- but dude it was the SIXTIES!
But it's got bassoon, oboe, flute and harp in it!  And possibly some guy playing the spoons.

I'm picturing a Donovan recording session.  "Hurdy-Gurdy Man, meet Spoon Man.  Spoon Man, meet Hurdy-Gurdy Man."

This was an especially entertaining convo today.  Thanks, everyone; I needed it.

Donovan and Soundgarden, together at last!
