Spot on. But it also makes me wonder what my parents must have thought when they saw LPs in the den by musical ensembles calling themselves Cream and Jefferson Airplane and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Like, what the . . .?
Sal, thanks for another succulent Song of the Day. I've always loved "Pardon My Heart." Zuma is one of my favorite Neil Young albums. Not only does it showcase his many strengths, it also reunited him with Crazy Horse. The first time I heard it, the record knocked me out. And it got better and better with each play. Love the sequencing and pacing.
I bought Zuma and Patti Smith’s Horses on the same day at Good Karma Records in San Diego. I had just paid my weekly visit to my connect, and sometimes boyfriend, in Chula Vista. Aside from my usual 4 keys of grass, he surprised me by offering to sell a pound of opium laced Buddha Sticks and a half pound of Liberty Caps. I jumped at the opportunity. That kinda shit sold itself.
When I got home, I got high and played Zuma before Horses. Like I said, it knocked me out. But of the two albums, Horses fascinated me more. I spent a lot of time getting acquainted with Patti before returning to Neil. Horses was definitely the better album to fuck to. It took you places.
