And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
That was one of my two first purchases of full-length albums. Previously, I had purchased only singles on 45. The other was "Made In Japan", by Deep Purple.
Bought that album when it was released, still have it. Also went to the Zep '77 US tour concert. Still the BEST CONCERT EVER. Marshall stacks, Jimmy playing with a bow, 25 minute songs, bottle rockets, lit magnesium ribbon, fire crackers, twenty foot thick smoke haze. Encore was a 15 minute rendition of Rock and Roll. I've seen Aerosmith, Prince, Bowie, ELO, Springsteen, Boston, Tull etc. Prince went to Bowie's Spiders from Mars tour, he was right behind me watching the theatricality. It was more Broadway show than rock and roll but hey it was Bowie and the times were changing as Rap was taking over. Ah the death of rock and roll but it lives on in vinyl.
The women were better, the music was better, and I was younger. What's not to like?

Needs to get rid of those goofy boots, but other than that, she’s awfully cute.
ReplyDeleteThe boots, then the skirt, then the blouse and then her underwear!!!
