Genius of the time was Frank Zappa.

"Suzie Creamcheese" comes to mind. :)

Favorite was both Jefferson Airplane and Grateful Dead. I worked about 2
miles from the Haight-Ashbury in SF during the Summer of Love. Maintaining
mainframe Computers while going to school at CCSF and SF State. Did not
indulge in drugs as I get sick from most prescription painkillers. So body
rejects them. Was very interesting. Not a real good life for some. We had
to keep the drapes closed in the computer room (there were fishbowls in
those day for advertizing) as the Speed Freaks would try to come in to watch
the blinking lights. And Speed Freaks are scary people. But the Dead and
the Airplane would have free concerts out in the panhandle area of Golden
Gate Park. So got to see some good rock performances. As well as
Winterland being about 4 blocks from the office. Being in the Reserves
during part of that time, had to keep my hair somewhat short.

Is this some kind of Druggie code?

I was otherwise occupied till the mid to late sixties. The culture that was
spawned in the sixties lives on and will ultimately be our destruction. That
much I understand.

Just for the record you understand. :)

When does freshwater bass season end up your way? And, is fresh water more
convenient for you than sal****er, in terms of distance? I'm pondering
schedules.

That's funny, SW doesn't fish locally.

Musical genius.

You need to hear the actual recording.
The lyrics by themselves are interesting, but a little flat.
Throw in the "psychedelic" guitar licks, etc, and it's one of the
better- even if now mostly forgotten- gems from the era.

At one time it was fun to sit around the hookah and debate the "inner
meaning" of tunes like this. I can't seem to remember whether Martha
Lorraine was popularly assumed to be about peyote, hashish, LSD, or
the Selective Service System/FEDGOV- (good arguments for all). I still
remember how suprised a lot of folks were to realize that Mr
Tambourine Man was about a dope dealer. Dylan was always easier to
figure out than Joe McDonald :-)

I suppose if you are sitting around doing drugs, a lot of songs sound
like they are "dealing" drugs. Not all of us were Day Trippers.- Hide quoted text -

So, are you disputing the double entendre of "Not so Sweet", or "Mr.
Tambourine Man"? I once met somebody who still insists that Peter
Paul and Mary were singing about a wind up flying reptile.........

We all lived in a yellow submarine.

refresher: (and for the very few who have only heard the 2-verse
pop-40 version)

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though I know that evenin's empire has returned into sand,
Vanished from my hand,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping.
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet,
I have no one to meet
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship,
My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip,
My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels
To be wanderin'.
I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade
Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way,
I promise to go under it.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Though you might hear laughin', spinnin', swingin' madly across the
sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escapin' on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facin'.
And if you hear vague traces of skippin' reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seein' that he's chasing.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.

Then take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me,
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come followin' you.- Hide quoted text -

That's funny, I am sitting here playing that on the guitar as I read.
One of my favorites to play, my favorite progression is Mr. Bojangles.
I could just play the rythem over and over, and sometimes I do.

Well, come on down anytime there partner.

We can sit around the hooka, discuss song lyrics and dream up
largemouth bass anytime.

Either one - salt water might be more fun - assuming that the bluefish
finally show up.- Hide quoted text -
