And the out of date pills obamacare will give you don’t do anything at all.

Go ask moochelle and hillary & huma, and pelosi when they’re ten feet tall.

Cause of course.... THEY were the rabbits, and boy does it ever show.

“If you can remember the sixties, you weren’t there.”

Wow man, like that’s so heavy!

And throughout his “sanctified” life, always followed the orders of the Comintern and Stalin. He was against the US being in WWII until the nazis invaded the Soviets, Stalin woke up and realized he’d need us-—then the word went out.

An absolute communist bastard, brat child of academics, and like all of them (obama too) extremely self important— for the “working man” never having done a day’s work in their lives.

There’s that word again. “Heavy.” Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth’s gravitational pull?

Abraham Lincoln wrote his Gettysburg Address without ever hearing either of these songs.

Maybe he was drunk.

You are correct. The song was based on ecclesiastes. It reads like logic set to poetry.

The only version of “Mountain” that Southerners (at least this one) would/will listen to.

33mins, 42 seconds Live- The Allman Brothers- from Eat a Peach. Sweet duo guitar, sweet slide and.... melody.

Deo Vindice.

The future?

Man we’re talking about almost 50 years ago!

Well, over 40 years ago. Or something like that, anyway ‘things’ had more ‘weight’ back then- you know?
Back before global warming I guess.
Wait, here comes my nurse. Her grandmother was at Woodstock too...

The Crash Test Dummies of the 90s struck me as heirs to that creative vein about 15 years ago.

The song from that era going through my head the last couple of years is “Time” by the Chambers Brothers.

With everything going on today, I'm having "We gotta get outa this place" flashbacks to '68.

People forget that 1967 didn't just bring us Sergeant Pepper

Some of my favorites from that year:

“See Emily Play.” I bought The Pink Floyd - The Piper at the Gates of Dawn album, and that was the first song on it. On the cd Astronomy Domine is the first song. Won a few bets on that one.

Far out, man! I thought “Heavy” was just an album by Iron Butterfly.

This lovely scottish lass MUST take after her Mum. I love Donovan’s music and mystique, but his face was always an owlish, tan-free blank slate, even back then.

[Rivers come from Mountains. Nothing like out-wash alluvial fans.]

I had to look up the term. I ran across some aerial photos. Very interesting. I would imagine geologists, paleontologists, archaeologists, gold prospectors, etc. might explore these features for clues about what the mountain might hold.

Incidentally, I was in Vietnam when Donovan's song hit the air. We were living in a valley surrounded by some spectacular mountains. Sometimes a mountain would be covered in mist or clouds and then it would reappear then disappear. That's what I thought the song was describing.

How about Ted Nugent and the Amboy Dukes, Journey to the Center of the Mind.

But I too, like you, was fascinated by the Chambers Brothers, "Time." That change in tempo, with lots of reverb, etc.

There were a couple of different versions of “Time”. One was a much more laden with reverb and other little tricks.
