Here's another of my favourite bands - Funkadelic, playing I Got a Thing (1970). The perfect acoustic accompaniment to pink Cadillacs and full-length fur coats, this could well be the funkiest film footage ever recorded. (And that is a blue Ku Klux Klan outfit he's wearing.)

A buddy of mine tagged me on Facebook to post a good song every day for a week. Here's what I came up with.
2000s. Robert Plant's (once of Led Zep) beautiful 2002 cover of ”Song To The Siren”. The original was first performed by Tim Buckley (Jeff's dad) in 1968. Pay attention to the lyrics by Larry…
One problem with getting old is that you start to see bands that you admired in your youth start to betray what you perceived as their ideals. The Baby Boomers were the first to start experiencing the disillusionment that comes with that, and songs from the rock gods of the 1960's have become…

Many of the stylized youngsters are practicing law now.
Or juggling finance and/or words.
Peeyar and upward mobility.
Johnny Cochran had "style."
Shock and awe is style.
