At HyperDose. We also have the issue of using mass to NYC or JC transit. I can take a Metro North Train from nearby Port Jervis to PATH & use cabs & subways to get to shows but sometimes the return trips aren't available later at night. So, we see shows in Newton, Bethel Woods (the original Woodstock site) in Summer (both less that 40 mins from us, Outpost in Montclair and even as far as Albany, NY because the trip there is toll free & hardly any traffic to speak of.

Rev Rab, it's also a story that Christianity poured a TON of displaced anxiety and libido into over the centuries. The story of King Arthur and the cannibal giant of Mont. St. Michel is a good example. And, you know, all of it. I think that Strawbs song can go on the list as well!

There is this narrative that Punk was a reaction to Prawg - 'Filth & Fury' showing Wakeman using a paint roller on his keyboard ferinstance. Never seemed that way where & when I was. They were both Underground &/or Marginal to the Charts far as I could tell. Punk to me seemed a reaction to Disco taking over *everything* for what seemed an interminable duration @ the time ...& Punk def seemed a counterpoint to the entire JourneyStyxForeignerKansasStevieNicksEagles 1970s Mainstream Chart domination. But I was isolated in smalltown NewHampshuh... well in fact - I was surprised that Styx & Kansas there are considered 'Prawg' to many!
Also - the ArtRawk JohnCale sorta interface twixt Prawg & Punk/Alt worlds seemed quite apparent...

@Brian in UK : Sounds like Lennon - who said Live performance often made him wish for people's Records instead. Not surprising having been in TheBeatles who defined that. But then - he preferred basic Rawk & putting it down fast in the Studio. Another twist of Lennon...
Lydon was a stone Hawkwind enthusiast & even acid merchant... Would expect he was all about the Peter Hammill.

The real gem (imo) has always been the long TRAILER for the movie Convoy. The sound track is the complete Convoy single, illustrated trailer-style by little pieces of the movie. The song and the snippets work nicely together to tell the story, like a multi-million dollar music video directed by Peckinpah, starring Kris and Ali (and Franklin Ajaye!) Actuality superior to watching the whole movie.

"Leave it there for at least 24 hours to solidify. This serves a few purposes: (1) It prevents mold from setting in within the first 48 hours of water damage. (2) It deactivates active mold growth and changes its consistency, making it easier to remove."
