BOS JS "Crown of Creation"!!!

When I first discovered the Airplane in 7th grade, I found "CoC" especially impenetrable.  At the time I figured it would make sense someday when I started taking drugs.

I've still never dropped acid.  I know look at "CoC" as Paul's earlier, better sense of sloganeering.  (He became more didactic and overwordy as the years went on.)

A second contribution from the SF contingent: Janis & Big Bro's supreme take on Gershwin's Summertime.

Your daddy's rich, and your mama's so good lookin'--Janis would particularly appreciate the latter...

BOS3 Stones -- I seem to recall you hate this one, Gaz.  Maybe Ms Baez's cover would change your mind.

I think I'm with you on your BOS selections, Mike--particularly this Stones semi-rarity. Don't know why this song isn't better known.

Didn't Dave run a Space Food Sticks ad in a recent set? Man those things were weird. Kind of like a Tootsie Roll, but softer.

so, were they sweet and dessert-y? or did they, um, "taste like chicken"?

You're correct.  I took the minutes to fold laundry.  Back in time for Otis.  This must've been the song that put Arthur Conley head over heels for him.

They were sweet--flavors like chocolate, orange, and I think maple or something similar. It was the 60s, and sugar was king in kids' snacks. See also: Pop Tarts.

wow, first really overplayed/cliche track (Cream) and we're at song #8! (well, unless you think of "Ride My seesaw" that way)

You can find anything on the Interweb:

They came in chocolate, caramel (that must be what I remembered as maple), malt, mint, orange, and peanut butter.

what I do remember was the first attempt at putting freeze-dried fruit in cereal: bananas, strawberries, peaches, blueberries. They're doing it again -- presumably the technology has improved in 40 years -- but damn it was awful. After 5 minutes the fruit would disintegrate into mush. yuck.

VHM Jim and his lazy diamond-studded flunkies. We heard this from Bob last week, no?

"Love Street" is rapidly becoming an across-the-board favorite.  The previously played Grace certainly enjoyed taking Jim across the board, according to her memoirs.

VHM Charlton and Kim Stanley.  and another VHM Traffic.  Bob and Ginger made my morning -- I feel no guilt about skipping out on Dave's '89 set.

OMG! I *loved* "Whip'n'Chill", Ginger! (it was sorta a poor man's version of mousse). "Jello 1-2-3"... notsomuch.

I remember both of those as well. I kinda dug Jello 1-2-3, but I think much of the appeal was visual--the way it separated into different layers when you put it in the fridge to set. The flavor was just repurposed jello.
