Love - Arthur Lee was a strange and talented paradox. A black man singing like a white Brit singing like a southern black, his band Love was one of rocks first multi racial groups. Equal parts Byrds folk-psych, Stones styled rock, and L.A. flower punk, they produced 3 great 60’s albums culminating with 1967’s Forever Changes. Lee was a creative enigma, often compared to Syd Barrett or Brian Wilson. Like both of them he was fueled by a certain madness that never quite allowed him to make good on his 60’s promise. That aside, Forever Changes stands right along The Velvet Underground and Nico, Revolver, or Beggars Banquet as one of the decades seminal and thoroughly original original rock and roll albums.

Whatever floats my boat...
Come on in and make yourself comfortable. The paths I follow sometimes tend to be non-linear and diverge into other altogether different places. I'm still not sure if this is a pop culture blog with art, or a historical one with nature or really what it is. In my mind it somehow works. I will tell you however that I do hate the dull, predictable, and the common...and if we share that as a common ground, then we'll have some fun.
That being said, many of these posts are photos that I have acquired over the years. When possible I will post credits or re-blog them if from another point of origin. If there is something of yours that needs to be credited or removed, I will be happy to do so if it is your creation or copyright. Otherwise, please just let me spread the love.
I am also a guest blogger on the super "Fuck Yeah Lou Reed" page here on tumblr. There I'll be putting up the odd live/rare/unheard Lou tracks, as well as whatever cool photos-videos-and of course anecdotes that I may have. So do come on by.
