Yes ladies ,but the true test of your womanly wiles would be to turn
Bobby
into a raving psyche freak!......make him wear a cravat and write songs
about flowers! 
(make a fake Tin-tin comic in which Tin-Tin has long hair and wears love
beads and frilly shirts,digs oscar wilde and plays the sitar or
something......)

Hey...Somethinge strange I noticed the other day..I'm in advertizing and
I get all "the trades" and in "Mediaweek" i think it was there was a
picture from the "The Beat Goes on.The Story of Sony and Cher". It was a
picture of a horribly dressed sonny and cher against something that
shocked me....behind them was a backdrop that was almost an exact
reproduction of the 13th floor elevators "Psychedelic Sounds" album!!! 

Did anybody see that show?....i thought Sonny was totally miscast..the
actor played him up like a complete spineless mopey fool!..........(soft
spot for soony--poor guy)

Oh Yeah-Glynis......It has been written that Vishnu in his 777th
incarnation descended upon Hamilton surrounded by radiant pink clouds
and lotus blossoms, and took the form of a mighty guitar once weilded by
"one who shall remain nameless" from the most holy Gnostic Brotherhood.
OR.......................................its' just all the chemicals in
the Hamilton drinking water !!!!!!
oh--and many thanks for the "Turkish Connection"!!!!!!!!

Question: Does anyone in Bomp!land have any info about a band called
"The Fringe" from
                Canada I assume,as they were on that Guess Whotvshow
hosted by Chad Allen
                after he left..around 67-68...they apparantly put down
some very mighty Pretty            
                Things (S.F.Sorrowish)psyche.......???

>>>.. it sorta set a trend for <<<<
>>>a narrow, revisionist history of supposedly what "garage" and
"'60s<<<
>>>punk" was all about; what's cool; and what you, as a fan, should and
<<<
>>>should not listen to... it never really made sense to me because
words <<<
>>>like "garage" and "'60s punk", which were developed by "historians",
<<<
>>>only hold meaning as retroactive terms....<<<

Yes exactly!...this in turn...has led to an awful lot of modern groups
who are 
just plain- punk rawk....getting called "garage-or 60's punk" like its a
cool buzz word
for press interest now that most people are bored to death with 70s'
"retro"(ack!)or indie rock! ie.jon spencer etc etc. etc. etc........you
name it! I guess it still IS kinda like          Greasers vs.
Longhairs!!!!  allthough i must admit in my formative years the B.F.T.G
rhetoric was like a fresh new avenging wind that appealed to lots of
kids...hellbent for kicks!
