Dudes - music from the olden days when young folks actually gave a rat's ass, had nads and weren't afraid to take to the streets.
It would appear the only thing the current generation is gonna march over is faster Facebook access, cheaper iPhones and bigger lattes...
And yeah, I said it -

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
Hey, sorry - the Airplane always brings back memories of another time and place...
And I still like 'em -

They were the best of the SF bands (Airplane). Surrealistic Pillow is their best, Crown of Creation is pretty good and I forget that other album where they did a tremendous cover of wooden ships.
I will admit I ve got them all. I used to collect albums. Now I spend all my money on fishing stuff
The line-up of acid-rock musicians was great - Marty Balin, Kaukonen, Cassady, etc -
I may end up getting a retrospective CD now - got the vinyl of Bathing at Baxters, Surrealistic Pillow, Crown of Creation, etc etc -
Yeah, it is far-out, man...

There isn't a day that goes by when I don't wonder what happened to the will to fight back. So much fear today.
Another note: for a generation with the munchies, those folks look awful fit and lean.
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

Good later version of Volunteers, from a concert at Radio City in '89, 20 years after the original -
And this was 20 years ago...
Hey, Karl and stcroixman, BTW - for the love of God, whatever you do, DON'T look for current stuff of Grace...just trust me on that...

Saw the Starship a few times but the best was front row at the Music Hall in Boston when they just formed. They were on the Blows Against The Empire tour and were unreal. They had Pappa John Creech wailing on the violin and a young guitarist Craig Chaquia who was great.
One of my best(actually remember one from that era).

I missed a chance to see them in a smaller venue near URI in the '60's .....during the Volunteers tour - still regret that, always wanted to see them live.
Hey, T-1, don't sweat it - Robin Williams said if you remember the '60's you weren't really there at the time...

At least she still has her faculties...which is amazing given Grace's...uhhh...recreational history, if ya get my drift.
