As I sit around desperately Trying To Figure It Out (and realizing I am neither Einstein nor Buddha so I am never going to figure IT out and this is a form of procrastination bordering on mental masturbation and well…). Damn. Time to put on a record. And get another beer.
If I’m going to figure anything out I think I need a bit of space to work in, and what better space than the one figured in Paul Kanter’s pompously perfect space opera Blows Against the Empire, possibly the most star-studded studio record of the whole San Francisco era.
And if in fact I am not going to figure IT out (that much we have arrived at by long and careful consideration), at least not tonight (and by counting the empties on the porch), then I might as well Dream…
Have you seen the stars tonight? Would you like go to up on A Deck and look at them with me?
Yeah, great record, took up where ‘Wooden Ships’ left off. You might enjoy my posts on the early Airplane and other good music on https://davekingsbury.wordpress.com … will follow your post too.
