Cheap Thrills how fine they are..."

Barry: Along with Buffalo Springfield, the Youngbloods, Dan Hicks and his Hot Licks, Love is one of my top favorite sixties bands. Usually when a celebrity or public figure dies I take it in stride; none of us is getting out of here alive. But hearing that Arthur Lee died gave me pause to recall those wonderful, calamitous days and the hot-to-trot young man, now greying at the temples, parked on Mulholland Drive, in the company of one hollow-skulled teen strumpet or another, a bottle of panty remover and Love Da Capo on the 8-track. Que Vida!
Saw Love a couple of times at the Kaleidoscope down below Sunset. Arthur Lee was magic on that stage. Never thought back then that youth would end or that the culture would evolve to mutilated bodies and shirty music. R.I.P. Arthur Lee and one more nail in my coffin . . .
