48 hours ago I'd have agreed it was mostly a hype

But after 2 days here with these, particularly the ones after they stopped touring & loaded up on lotsa tasty psychedelic substances, show how they helped to invent what we know as modern music and recording perhaps more than any other single musical artist in human history.

Listening to these is like hearing a canvas come to life… what these people did with 4- and (for the last couple of albums) 8-track recording set a standard that may be equaled but will surely never be surpassed. And that’s just the recording & technical aspects… the songwriting and arrangements essentially invented the modern palette, synthesized it from everything from the English Music Hall to the Mississippi Delta to the Rings of Saturn and back again.

I was really lucky as a small child to learn to work the turntable at a very young age, so that the first record I ever played at age 3 was The White Album (dad had those records when they were out), so I may be biased, but I can’t stress enough how essential these guys’ music is.

I made a compilation for myself from it

and I am playing that right now… Savoy Truffle is playing, really one of empy’s favorite George Harrison jams.

This song, written off the inside of a box of chocolates by G and his pal Mr. Clapton in 1968, really illustrates my point… the way this song was conceived, written & executed (with horns) in the studio just illustrates how these cats established the modern music-making trajectory in so many ways… impossible to understate the innovation in its time & how it made them the most influential group on other musicians in history, probably. No, definitely.

Plus it’s just a phat jam, even if it were Johnny Anonymous it would be awesome.

Did Barton really just seriously say that if the A's would just let him play that he would be consistent...

I hope this does not mean consistently bad….and btw the way he is not a very good interview, kinda boring!!

There is no A in OFFENSE!!

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
