In my accidental Lewis Carroll fest of the last few days, I kept threatening to play Gracie Slick singing White Rabbit, but didn’t because I figured it was overused. Then I got an email from our pal Wendy that simply read “you could always post PATTI singing "White Rabbit" instead.” Okay Wend, you got it.

And this is Captain Beefheart by way of a bonus.
Patti Smith is the man for absofuckinlutely sure. Speaking of the decade that refuses to die, I saw J. Airplane in Central Park. They had just played the rally to Free Bobby Seale in New Haven. It was fuckin' fabulous. I was 15 or 16 and the future seemed limitless. When we first met, my future first ex wife wanted to impress me. She showed me a picture of herself in front of the stage at the New Haven Bobby Seale rally. It worked.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just hate nostalgia?
I seriously hate nostalgia, but I love the past!
ReplyDeleteSo what did you do to impress her?
Agree, Patti is the man, but no one does White Rabbit like Grace. It's hers. Sometimes there's a reason things get overused.
