Okay, but let's give Wayne some love, too, don't forget. He's an awesome guitarist and he's led an interesting life.

Though it should fairly be noted that in most of what he says in the book that quote comes from (Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk), he does seem to kind of be going way out of his way to make it clear that he was really just a kid from Detroit who liked cars and guitars, and not more than superficially down with all that revolution stuff.

However, it at least could also fairly be noted that he was (I believe, although I'm not 100 percent ceratin) the only person immediately involved in his little portion of it other than John Sinclair who anyone (Nixon's DEA, as it happened) went to the trouble of actually setting up and sending away. Based on absolutely nothing than how that strikes me. it's always struck me as having been probably not purely coincidental. Given the customs and culture of the era. I mean, it's not like they were the only two doing the kind of thing they ended up being prosecuted for. But whatever the case, either way, considering him in the larger context of his life and career to date:

Foaming like a wave
On the ground beneath your knees

Birds like tender babies in your hands
And the old men playing
Chinese checkers by the trees

After all that happened to me last week, this song seemed fairly relevant.


The Who - I Can See For Miles


I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

I thought you referenced that once in a post, Jeff.

Completely different vein, anybody remember Rain Parade?

Then I think I've already said all of this up thread a few years ago.
