so used to the lp version of you're gonna miss me i almost forgot what the single sounded like...and i've never heard this single. i expect they cut off some vital lyrics at some point.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:31pm

Yeah, it's about four minutes shorter than the album version

F16corners- Did red crayola go insane?

No, they turned into a weird art rock band and kept putting out records for decades.

Your stream has been interrupted again. We're not getting The Golden Dawn. Some rando sax solo thing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 10:57pm
Franco Twinkie:

My mom was ironing and I was sitting on the floor watching t.v. and The Elevators came on. I thought they were beatniks 'cause they were wearing shades and I thought Tommy Hall was playing bongos (not a jug) I don't think I had heard the word "Hippy" yet.

I've slipped into the stream, hearing jazz... oh THERE you are.

That was weird. It looks good now
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm

@Franco - It must have been something to witness the Elevators happening in real time
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:05pm
Funky16Corners:

BTW - the recording I post tomorrow should be seamless, if you missed anything during the tech snafu

I also like God Bless the Red Crayola and All Who Sail With It.

Franco Twinkie:

Well its not like I saw them live, but on KFWB they would play The Supremes, then The Elevators, then Napoleon the 14th, then Frank Sinatra, then Love. It twisted my young head off. that's why I love WFMU!
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:12pm
Funky16Corners:

WFMU is a good place to get your head twisted off, and back on again

I meant insane like the point of no return via hallucinagens

Did you go Franco?

Funky16Corners:

I haven't indulged in decades, but the ideas still fascinate me. I loved reading Terence McKenna and Leary's 'Politics of Ecstacy'
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:20pm
Franco Twinkie:

No, I had practice. It was last Thursday.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:21pm

I hear micro dosing is showing promise for depression
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:21pm
Funky16Corners:

That was one of the original experimental uses
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:22pm
Franco Twinkie:

I did see Terence Mckenna opening for Dr. Albert Hoffman at the Scottish Rites Temple.

I can think of a few things I'd want to be doing while tripping, and riding a bicycle is not one of them
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm
Franco Twinkie:

Chresti and I were at a party in Topanga Canyon and this guy shows up with a crumpled paper bag full of blotter, I put some in my pocket and forgot about it. However, some friends of ours did take it...I'll let her tell you what happened.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:32pm
chresti:

not only did his headache go away, he was awake for a couple days
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:33pm
Funky16Corners:

I thought you were going to say you forgot about it, and then put your sweaty hand in your pocket and took an unexpected trip
  11:33pm
rw:

I ran out in front of a car once. Wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done. Bicycle ride doesn't sound too bad to me though depending on traffic.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
chresti:

driving is risky
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:34pm
Funky16Corners:

One night my brothers and I tripped in my apartment by the beach. We decided to go out for a walk, and were convinced that a van was following us. We were terrified until we realized that he was looking for a parking space.

Oh man. We're heading into scary territory here... I need to get some work done so I'll have to refrain from story-time!

Larry, I'm bummed that I've only been able to catch bits and pieces of tonight's show. All sounding great. Thank you for another compelling and enjoyable radio program!

Oy, don't make me think about it, though I was 8 in 1970, and my head wouldn't have handled any of that music.
Avatar 🥁 Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:49pm

I hear stories like that about rare soul being picked up for pennies back in the day.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 11:49pm

Well, I was eight when The Beatles were on Ed Sullivan. I was confused about all the ruckus, but I came around PDQ.
