Luna - Seven Steps to Satan
This song appears to be a rebuttal or a prequel to the 12-step program.
Ride - Eight Miles High
If ever a song was written for a band that wasn't even born yet it would have to be this Byrds' song covered by Ride.
I didn't think a cover version of this next song would be possible. If I could find a way to digitize the inadvertent overdub that my friends and I created 40 years ago while buying gas at the Detroiter Truck Stop, I would have used it. Our self-incriminating recording was made when the record button was hit instead of the stop button on a boombox in the middle of the Beatles 'White Album tape while the song Revolution #9 was playing. The dialog included the counting out of less than $2 in change that was interrupted by the gas attendant who was told come back after we finished the tally.
As the guy walked away this conversation ensued and was recorded for posterity
Greg 1 : "Don't get all psyched up about it" (to the attendant)
Dave: " Greg...you see... that's the kind of stuff that gets us in trouble"
Greg 1 : "He won't get pissed. He's too fat anyway"
Dave, Greg 2 and Mark (in unison) : "Yeah"
Greg 1 : " Besides, if he says anything we'll beat his ass"
Greg 2 : "Then 10,000 crazy truckers come running out after us"
Greg 1 : " Not if he throws it in reverse and we run for our lives"
Dave : "What-what gameshow is this, you know?"
The Shazam - Revolution #9
Boon Trivia..etc.The White Album was where it all began basically for me.I remember my sister bringing it home and we trooped up into her bedroom and listened to it all.I was 10,and it wouldn't be the same again.I remember being a little scared about this track.Also when I got a little older and more hippier,me and my buddy used to great one another with,(whoever started first would say)Financial inbalance,The Watusi,The twist..To which you would say in a low voice"El Dorado"..
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome. In our household we had Meet the Beatles before my first memories but it was Sgt Pepper that had a similar effect on me. I first heard it when my family rented a Lake Michigan cottage for rainy cold week in June '71. My oldest brother and sister found the cottage owner's kids' albums. Besides Sgt Pepper I also heard Magical Mystery Tour and the Stones 'Let it Bleed' for the first time. When we got home from the trip my two eldest sibling went out and bought a bunch of albums which were played all day long for the rest of the summer.
