The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.
To start off the week and finish the month of September, we have David Peel and the Lower East Side with their song, "I Like Marijuana" from their 1968 album, Have A Marijuana. I remember hearing this album back around 1969-70 on a friend's 8-Track tape while we cruised in Hollywood or Topanga Canyon.
From Wikipedia:
Formed to support David Peel in 1967, the Lower East Side Band originally consisted of Harold C. Black and Billy Joe White. They soon became popular enough in New York City's then thriving downtown counterculture that they were signed to Elektra Records in 1968. With the addition of Larry Adam and George Cori to the line-up, the band recorded with David Peel on the Have a Marijuana album conceptualized by Danny Fields as a collection of drinking songs for pot smokers.
