Or kept it up for as long...

I couldn't appreciate them (much) until recently, but I think I finally get it. Two-guitar rocknroll plus acid-mysticism and a sense of humor, not to mention the will to keep going in the face of whatever

The understanding that they were all pretty much at odd about almost everything most of the time is key to seeing how the music fits together, and makes the telepathic moments all the more incredible - mutual agreement by default? A sense of purpose which is actually served by the ongoing ego battle?

I saw one show, in Vermont, and it did very little for me...

But I have a friend with a big collection, and she's been layin it on me bit by bit, being as it is one of the larger areas of rocknroll which I have til now not paid much attention to...

The GRATEFUL DEAD MOVIE is amazing, BTW

(now back to downloading obscure japanoise and afropop)
