BOS, the Might Zep, "What Is and What Should Never Be."  My old stereo installation test song.

don't take the brown acid!

and we remain in Woodstock for some Santana. Carlos is the hose!
Haha, yes he is. I love that characterization as "not specifically too good". And what is the effect on the brain of poorly manufactured acid?
more superficial hallucinations, and the jangles!

It's got a lot of speed in it, so you get anxious and wired instead of getting high.

"...as we were...uh...enjoying some time in 1969. (Yeah, that's it: enjoying.)

Why do I not believe her?

the clue, "year of the first mega music festival" = Monterey Pop, I assume.  Woo Hoo!

What about the Newport Jazz Festival?  And that's just off the top of my head... surely
there are earlier folk music hootenanies, country music jamborees, etc.  Just another
sign of the lack of musical perspective from those kids who are running the radio station
these days.  Grumble, grumble.

I truly never tire of "Crystal Blue Persuasion". BOS1. This kind of Christianity -- the drug-addled kind -- I can definitely get behind.

I have no problem with Christianity; I think it's great.  It's the so-called Christians that are the
problem.  99.9% of them either have no clue what their professed religion is about, don't
practice it, or both.

There was a period of the late '60s when people were very open to all religions, both Eastern and
Western, as part of a genuine spiritual exploration.  Popular culture manifestations of that included
Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar.  As with other pursuits, some people took it to excess ("Jesus
freaks, out in the streets"), some dropped it, some integrated it into their life and moved on.

well, I was a Catholic schoolboy at the time.

Since you said you went to Fordham, I gotta ask:  did you go to a private (and presumably
Catholic) high school?

uber-BOS2 "Atlantis", which the Peak played in their (May) 1969 set yesterday. Another one I never tire of. Sing & dance & ring in the new, my antedeluvian bay-bee!

DM & AL have each played it once.  I really liked hearing it again as well.
