The Lizard King slays all the teen mags.

The greasers discovered hash pipes and striped trousers, while this guy jacked some beads from a Buddhist or mama’s jewelry box. It’s all good.

Evidently, when you psychedelicize Davy Jones, peacock feathers sprout from his face.

1967 was so weird that even the Fugs had a legit shot of becoming teen heartthrobs

Sorry if this is old hat to you folks across the pond, but you American indie kids need to see this. A band this militantly twee with a cool-ass chick bassist would get an automatic 7.3 from Pitchfork if it came out now.

Cleveland ABC-TV music show Upbeat hosts “the Funkadelic” just right before Bobby Sherman (!?!), while the group is probably high enough to be peeled off the ceiling. As the kids say, it’s lit AF.

Lysergic a Go Go, 1965, featuring Del Close, Hugh Romney (aka Wavy Gravy), and…the Psychedelic Symphonette! Clem Floyd was David Crosby’s former roommate in Chicago, where he played him the music of the Beatles.

Del Close was a founder of Second City in Chicago, who taught improv to everybody from John Belushi to Chris Farley. He was also a major acidhead circa 1965. I think Crosby also credits Clem Floyd with introducing him to John Coltrane, which is in a roundabout way how we got The Byrds, “Eight Miles High.” IIRC, Emerald was an African-American woman & scenester with Vito’s crew who was Chris Hillman’s girlfriend in the early days of the Byrds. Anybody ever know what happened to Emerald?
