23 skidoo

[Michael Bailey]

...so I reread Robin's post about the Byrds,
that does sound a lot more like "Boards"...
maybe supposed to be some kinda melding of notions
with the Beach Boys, though...the surfboard coffee tables...

anyway, I looked up this Glen Charlock, I mean
Gene Clark (just like Byrds/Boards, the two GCs are pretty
darn simular), and read up on the Byrds -
didn't know that Eight Miles High was really not about tripping,
although even if you read it that way, it's like, "and when you come down"
comes really early in the song...

but (to digress just a bit) I always liked Buffalo Springfield
better than the Byrds and somehow thought the Byrds should've
been an East Coast group and they would've been able to
stay together...
(there's even a Buffalo Springfield song "Nowadays Clancy
can't even sing" so if the Byrds had been an East Coast group
2 of them could've got Clancy singing...)

but I ended up going to iTunes and getting "White Light" and
listening to it all the way through, really some pretty nice stuff!
According to the Wikipedia article, it was voted Album of the Year
in the Netherlands in 1971.
