Rant: Flower Power

Post by GatewaySnayke »

This is an informercial that needs to go. Peter Fonda looks ridiculous in a leather jacket and the people that walk around looking at the set like it's a museum of hippiedom are retarded. I hope they got paid.

And the box set itself looks terrible. Granted, there are some good songs and artists on there. But...The [expletive] Turtles? The Zombies? The Association? Doobie Brothers? THE MOTHERHUMPING DOOBIE BROTHERS? Monkees? And the absolute worst:

DONOVAN!!!!

PUUUUUUUUUUUUKE.

I can do it easy.

Someone in my band suggested that we cover "Long Train Running." I'll spare you the gory details, but he no longer plays in the band.

Maybe this will help. Michael McDonald is like a fine wine.

One of the great songs from the 60's.

Well they had two popular hits but they were also, although very short lived, one of the most consistent bands from that era. Almost everything they recorded was great.

I could do without ever seeing the Flower Power commercial again, however.

Yes. I wouldn't have mentioned them if I wasn't at least somewhat familiar.

'Nothing against Michael McDonald, but if I hear "Yah Mo B There" one more time, "Yah Mo" burn this place to the ground.'
