fuckinamazing
(I experienced that energy once on a van trip with multiple hitchhikers from Indiana to Kalifornia in the roadside wilds of Colorado around a campfire after a day in the streams, mountains, rivers. Everyone had a guitar and their moment in the firelight...and multiple times as a street musician in new orleans...
But THIS is the true Church of the Supreme High.

Yep.

Carol ReidFeb 12, 08:21pmI have a lot of nostalgia for those high times ( as depicted in that video anyway ) Much fun watching and listening to old Joe.

Well, then you'd have to be supremely high
(if you wanna be in the church!)

Leon Russel was SO COOL.
Hard to believe where he came from:

Also (as with Leon Russel) it's interesting to see where Jimi Hendrix came from (the chitlin' circuit, with many bands, including The Isley Brothers und Little Richard):

Chris OkumFeb 28, 01:36amMy dad used to play Russell's CARNEY in the car all the time when I was a kid. One time I was looking at the cover of the cassette and I asked my dad why Leon looked like a ghost and he said that's because his face was covered in blow. I had no idea what "blow" was, but I acted like I did. So I laughed. Ah, yeah, blow, ha ha. My dad said it wasn't funny. He said blow was just about the unfunniest thing in the world. He said if I did blow my heart could stop and I would die. And I've never tried blow. Not one time. I am the only person in my small and defeated social circle who has never done blow. For that I have my dad, Leon Russell, and Len Bias to thank. Len Bias proved my dad right. The only two celebrities whose death made me sad were Len Bias and David Foster Wallace. I bet DFW did a lot of blow. What a motor-mouth.

My next-door shotgun-apartment neighbor in nola used to play guitar with Little Richard. Said LR used to make all the band members come into his room to get paid. Said many of 'em wouldn't even make the trip...

Even Frank Zappa paid his dues...

Barry BasdenFeb 28, 04:00amNice Jimi got past it.

FAntastic array of links.
God bless Frank Zappa. How creative must one be to see a bicycle as a musical instrument.

Jimi Hendrix did NOT play on this one:

Sally HoutmanFeb 28, 05:08am
I think Frank Zappa's bicycle could provide some great accompaniment for that.

My kindergarten teacher used to play this during our naps.

This was required listening for all kindergartens in the north central PA school district:

Che tipo di scuola dovrebbe costringere i bambini ad ascoltare cattiva musica?
Questo รจ crudele e inusuale.
La nostra bella signorina Hammersmith, d'altra parte, non solo giocare "FIRE" come abbiamo dormito, avrebbe anche ballare la danza dei Mille veli tra le nostre file di materassini ...
Siamo stati educati!
