Woo Hoo!
-
get yer kicks in '66 on the Sloop John B. I know this is based on an old Jamaican folk song, but I heard it (in the early '70s) as a Vietnam metaphor.
-
"This is the worst trip I've ever been on." Little did Brian know then what the '70s and '80s would be like.
-
BOS1 to Pittsburgh's own Lou Christie on one of the best falsetto choruses ever. So great that one can ignore the painfully misogynist lyric.
-
There are NO coincidences: "Lightning Strikes", which Klaus Nomi did in his stage act, which there are clips of in the docu I saw this weekend.
-
BOS Kinks. I need me a good early Kinks anthology.
-
I've never heard this Kinks song. It's fab!

Little Steven plays a lot of early Kinks & early Who every week. it's been a revelation to me.
-
argh - i missed lou christie!
mmm...summer in the city, back o' my neck gettin' dirty and gritty. i've always loved that line.
-
BOS2 to "Summer in the City," even though it feels like anything but. This is such a great song it allows me to forgive John Sebastian for two songs I absolutely DESPISE, "Daydream" and "Did You Ever Have to Make Up Your Mind."
-
HM to Cream. That Jack Bruce was a looker in the day, not much of a lyricist though. But he's glad, he's glad, he's glad, and he feels free.

and his mind wants to cry out loud!
this is another one of those songs that makes me wish i was born 20 years earlier. so i could be properly stoned the first time i heard it on the radio.

Ah but he wrote some other wonderful tunes, "Rain on the Roof" and "Six O'Clock" and "You're a Big Boy Now" and "Darling Be Home Soon" and...

wow. i love DYEHTMUYM. mabe the music more than the lyrics, though.

Super BOS! Blues Magoos! Woo Hoo!!!
-
"Don't worry boy, life'll be sweet someday." BOS3 to one of my favorite Freak anthems, "We Ain't Got Nothin' Yet." I bet Mike gives it BOS too. Garage rock at its finest and most prototypical.

If you want top see what he looks like now, just be at the Royal ALbert Hall in May.

I'm more interested in seeing what Andrea True looks like now, per RGMike's comments on Deep Throat.

"everything you could ask for on a secretary's salary!"
wow. all that in a '66 mustang?
what a crazy commercial.
nice to follow with ?mark.

:?:

Super BOS2! -- ? and the Mysterians! "96 Tears".
-

Hey, another band leader who shares my ghiven name!
-
Byrds = proxy BOS from Geoff, I should imagine.
-
question for you older folks who might remember: When people first heard McGuinn's guitars on this song, had they ever heard anything like it before? This predates anything heard by the masses from Hendrix or the Airplane, who else might have come had a similar sound by this point (April '66)?
-
"8 miles High" -- drugs? nah.
And SpongeBob's not gay, either :wink:
-
Well, that was an early contender for Set Of The Week!

Wow, a fab set indeed. Will have to try to tune in to the replay tonight at 8.

but that was released 11 months later. You may well have heard it before April of '66, but not many others did.
Reason I am asking is that it is always a challenge for me to recreate the chronologies of Pop Culture things like this that happened before my time & which were not usually documented with unnerring accuracy.

thanks for the correction; for some reason, since this is the 40th anniversary of the Dead, I assumed it was earlier before checking my facts. Jim McGuinn (as he was then called) really did expand the sounds of the guitar, didn't he? 12-string guitars had existed for a long time, but the first time we heard Mr. Tambourine Man, boy, that was special.
