Saturday, 10/18. Time for every swinging American, all over the world, to stand up against tyranny and be counted.

We’ll be on the street in Brainerd, MN in the morning, and later in Crosby … bringing the noise to the message. The vote here was red, but against treason all hearts are blue.

Well, at least you’re old enough for 8track. 😛 I was 20 in 1966. I had most all of his early albums, including Overnight Sensation.

I saw him live twice … @ U of MD in 1974, and U of MN around 1984.

I heard “Freak Out” in 1966 … bought it, and never looked back.

Kind of a landmark album. Created an uproar among FZ fans for being all instrumental (except for Captain Beefheart on Willie the pimp).

I played this song in a Baltimore R&B band, the Dynamics, circa 1964. (yes, I’m old) Great tune. Olde school blues with an old old school tenor sax solo.

It’s not that hard to see POLICIA in Spanish on the shield.

Expecting compassion from fascist MAGAts is like expecting blood from a turnip. More resistance, less whining, please.
