embryonic hopes dwelled within my heart obscured by false idols and drugs swelled with angst until acid came along filled my dreams with top-notch dope not to mention sour mash and Bocephus on the corner of main street and dive telling myself ain't this grand listening to the culture of skid row did my bit for the armed forces, yep Air Force couldn't adapt to me tried Jesus on for size, but that was before Iron Butterfly and the pusher man drowning my id in the static of long-playing albums marketing myself with bravado on the strip second-rate gigolo making the rounds fraudulent smiles and tough it out desire watching Vietnam, first war to play on TV through a haze of intellectual futility and fear headline blurry KENNEDY SHOT Camelot gone, gone, gone, if it was ever really there theoretical squares and angles of gangsters and idea pimps highways, overpasses, nooks and crannies teenage years gone, forgot what I was rebelling about fond love, didn't recognize it, thought it was prison life lived on reckless high on roller-coaster of DRUGS paying those poetical dues don't you know another blurry headline KENNEDY SHOT déjà vu all over again (thanks yogi) . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Yes, DS, MM did that. I still have my doubts about her strange death, and the stranger things which went on prior to, and immediately after her demise. Never made it to a Butterfly concert, caught Janis in a cow pasture somewhere south of S.F., a few others that were blurry then and impossible to recall now, but CCR and Ten Years After stick in my mind. Thanks for stopping by and helping me dreg up some more memories. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

Been down the same roads. Seems like forever ago now. God it costs a lot for a haircut these days! Still absolutely love Alvin Lee and Ten Years After.......I can still see that red Gibson es 335 blazing at Woodstock....Goin Home....Wonder if we ever really get all the way home? I had an SG, also red, at the time. Sold it for a song, no pun intended. Tomothy Leary where are you now in your old verisimilitude.....Can't imagine? Great ramble Jerry....I enjoyed the read. I'll play one in your name tonight. Eric |

Hah! Thanks for playing one for me tonight, ethome. Didn’t make it to Woodstock, I was on the other side of the continent. Appreciate the thoughts and memories in your comments, man. . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |
