And a local band, Monocle Band. Go see them if you get a chance. Good stuff.
It's afternoon somewhere.
Pretty insightful writing for 1971.
Blow up your TV, throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus, on your own
My first taste of "concert diapers" when I was a youngin'. I only wish I had seen these guys more in their prime.
Nothing Shocking is one of my favorite albums of that era and the cover is simply stunning.

I'd guess in the late 1920s, probably around the same time as you. You guys could have gone to a speakeasy together or something. Of course being the buckle of the Bible Belt I think they probably still have those in Springfield.

Former JANE'S ADDICTION star PERRY FARRELL is convinced he owes his youthful looks to 15 years or relentless drug taking.
The eccentric rocker insists he'll never become an anti-drug advocate because he thinks the best people in life have all experienced substance highs.
He says, "I feel that I lost 15 years worth of intensive efforts, but I look great. That's one thing that surprises me.
"I guess every generation goes through their drug thing and some people get through it and get clean and some don't.
"But, you know what, I'm sick of the people that are sober. I think sobriety is wrong... You're supposed to party on Friday night, and, if you don't, you're going against God's wishes."
And Farrell believes a lack of drugs in today's music industry is making current hits "stale".
He adds, "If you look at the great art movements, everyone's dabbled and experimented... I'm going to preface that by saying addiction is stupid. But the lack of experimentation is affecting the music today, and, as a result, the music is stale. They need to break on through."
He's right to some extent, the music now often to me sounds like what alternative and pop did in the 1980s and 1990s but less 'something' than when Pearl Jam and Bad Religion played it originally. I guess when you listen to the music from back then they were often inspired by the bands from the 50s, 60s and 70s, so it's probably just the way things are. There must be some theoretical max number of chord progressions possible, I dunno. Probably some certain number of combinations that sound good at least.
