Iron Butterfly.......

I am listening to the Woodstock weekend on XM radio. And they are playing "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" although they did not play Woodstock. Anyway I remember the first time as a teenager hearing this song. I was driving my Chevy Citation at the time, very high on Marijuana. (yes I used to smoke a good bit of it) The funny thing is, I was driving, listening to the song, I felt that I was driving really fast, looked at the speedometer and realized that I was only driving about 20 mph in a 55 zone. Damn Iron Butterfly and Pot slowed everything down for me. Good times.

2. Interesting.....

The announcer on XM stated that they did not play because they were stuck in the airport, but did not elaborate. Thanks for the link!

3. I read a similar story.

About how a group called the "Youngbloods" were booked on the Johnny Carson show, and the band was doing the prima donna shit also.

Johnny walks over, tells the boys to wipe their noses and go home, and they were out of there.

6. Jesse Colin Young's behavior is why Carson booked no more rock bands on the Tonight Show
