: by "Republican", he probably meant
: "self-serving and greedy in the
: extreme" - - - by comparison, the
: Beatles/Apple would have been more like a
: "democrat" label, because they
: actively sought bands and tried to help them
: succeed longterm by providing them with
: songs to get started.

: Hello Sir Cordwick!
: George Bunnell mentioned at least a few
: times how SAC were severely manipulated by
: the suits at MCA/UNI.I know they absolutely
: abhorred having to do "Good Morning
: Starshine",a tune they were pressured
: into doing by the republican scoundrels in
: the front office.I have a feeling the same
: thing happened with the Lemon Pipers,whose
: talents far exceeded the bubblegum dizziness
: of the rather juvenile "Green
: Tambourine",a case at least somewhat
: solidified by jams such as "Fifty Year
: Void",their first album closer.I must
: say you certainly possess serious musical
: wisdom well beyond your years.I thought I
: was a bit young for this site when I first
: joined at 39 or 40!But then,if one is indeed
: very serious about his music,age is
: meaningless.After all,were any of these
: classical music buffs around in the times of
: Beethoven or Mozart?!

: thanks man, I'm only 30 but I've listened to
: Woodstock era music for nearly 20 years, and
: have played 3 instruments for almost as
: long. In 2010, I was in a group that did
: marathon live jams based around The World On
: Fire, sometimes paired up with Beatles
: Tomorrow Never Knows.... I have the benefit
: of being able to look back into the past
: through websites and books. One of those
: "hindsight is 20/20" things. I
: "discovered" S.A.C. after hearing
: their name mentioned on TV on "THE
: WONDER YEARS"; Kevin started a band
: called the Electric Shoes and someone said
: it "didn't make sense". He said
: "SAC didn't make sense. Vanilla Fudge
: didn't make sense". Great TV show.
: I've heard all their studio albums multiple
: times, not sure why the never really caught
: on other than their record label just saw a
: bunch of young kids they could rip-off for a
: quick one-hit wonder and never gave the band
: a second thought after that. Blues For A
: Young Girl should have been a top 20 hit for
: sure. But music was changing. SAC sounded
: too much like Association and Turtles when
: they should have been sounding like Iron
: Butterfly and Jimi.

: Hello Sir Cordwick!
: I most admire your insights into 60's
: culture.In the terms of many a youth in
: those days,you seem enlightened and
: "tuned in" to certain realities
: that seem to elude many due to their
: ignorance and shallowness.I wholeheartedly
: agree that there always exists only a rather
: pathetically small percentage of world
: population that truly acknowledges and duly
: appreciates truly good and meaningful
: art.Especially these days.......
