Primo Covers v. Better Than The Original

Great excuse for me, i posted while tripping.
So don t seek coherence, there isn t as far as i read.

What i wrote and what i ment ?
Gotta love Lysergic posting s revisting the day after.

:rolleyes::ROFLMAO: "Ooh baby its a Wild World"
only stops during the trip, afterglow and then,
enter the Rat s race environment.
Freed from your social handcuff s.

Love it, i even preach much love during and after.
And that from the former, bitter dark barker.

For a time, radio DJ's were trying to figure out what a toke was. Simultaneously, they were banning "Puff the Magic Dragon". That's why sneaking the drug references through was considered great fun.
The mid 60's was the 50's continued in mainstream media. The underground was called the underground for a reason. I was a kid but came of age early 70's. That's about when "underground" FM stations began. AM radio was all there was before that. Crazy Tin Pan Alley.

There were a couple of the underground stations that were big for me when I first started listening to rock back in the Midwest. One was Beeker Street, out of Memphis I believe, and there was one out of Chicago, forget the call letters but they had a huge geographical range. Or maybe it was all one station, I'm not sure.
But yeah, listening to them was a revolutionary act in my little nowhere town!

I remember moving from Boston to Ohio and searching the FM dial for the "cool" station. (WBCN in Boston) At that time, each city might have one and the rest of the FM dial was Classical and "mirror" stations to the AM stations. That was some good radio for a few years until capitalism co-opted that as well and AOR (Album Oriented Rock) stations became the norm on FM.

Kickin' back, 15 years old, scanning that dial once again, and the sounds of "Truckin'" came out of the speaker. I knew I had it.

My local underground station had spoof ads for "Brute Force Cybernetics" products.
In one of them, they laid the groundwork by quoting research in which tiny worms had been trained to do a maze. Then, when those worms were cut up and fed to other worms, they could do the maze. (A theory of memory being in DNA, real study.)
Then, it went on to do a commercial for "training biscuits for your dog".
And, coming soon, "potty training cookies for your kids".
 
Noel Gallagher covering The Jam. Better? nah, not for me. Still a very credible acoustic version though (and imo better than any song Noel has written haha, you may disagree...), he makes it his own for sure, which I like in a cover. Totally different tempo and feel to the original, and it's a live performance, fair play


great cover
