"Legal Pot" would be a great band name!

Thinking about it, the name "Flower Pot Men" for those one-hit-wonders who sang "Let's Go to San Francisco" wasn't probably so innocent either. I sometimes marvel at how naïve I can be.

Did you ever wonder that eight miles high was about really about Boeings...?

That always sounded trippy to me, especially the "and when you get down ...".

Drug, Sweat and Tears were a drug band? How does that go together with the fact that their Eastern European tour in the early seventies was paid by the CIA?

Was that a typo...?

Nope, a pun, forgive me. But I like them. I'm probably the only person on earth who has all their albums through all eras. And even some of the more recent David Clayton Thomas stuff. That CIA tour did them no favors though at the time. And then there is that nasty comment that before the advent of the Ramones all New York City bands "consisted of Blood, Sweat & Tears type musos".

I saw BS&T in concert in the 70's.  One of the more memorable concerts I've seen...thought it was first rate.

David Clayton Thomas put more into a performance than anyone I'd ever seen aside from Tom Jones.  Pure energy!

Never thought of it, but the Tom Jones comparison is not a bad one!
