The Blue Cheer suck!

That will give you some idea of what this column is about. Hope to point out a few things, tell it like it is or should be, etc. If you like it how I write it, then congratulations if you don’t, then go and read road maps! Doesn’t “In a Gadda da Vida” sound like “Sunshine of your Love”? What ever happened to “Long Haired Boy” by Tim Rose? Richie Havens seems like a very nice, pleasant-type person. Tim Buckley doesn’t.

“Whiter Shade of Pale” prior to its release by Procol Harum appealed to Otis Redding so much that he wanted to release it as his next single. Apparently lost all interest when he discovered the Harum was white!

Read a really early edition of the Fifth Estate last week. You know-from the days before “peace” was a dirty, unprintable word.

WWLV-FM-Keener’s new call letters, really stand for We Want Lower Volume-For Music! Please take note, all you young, aspiring amplifier players.

Does MC in MC-5 stand for Mr. Sinclair? or Mr. Coltrane? or Mr. Cleaver? Or even Motor City?
