"Everybody is expending all this energy in various ways to get the same old feeling out of it that Little Richard can get in five minutes. And people are finally waking up to the fact that you can get as much of a good feeling out of a simple thing as you can out of something that's hard. A lot of people who would have you believe they are intelligent musicians are playing sh** . Music's become so intellectualized. Man, music is FUN. It's not supposed to be any heavy, deep intense thing - especially not rock music, man. That's to set you free! Anybody that ever listened to Chuck Berry or any of them cats knows that. Rock is like a newspaper for people that can't read. Rock and roll will tell you where everything is at. It's something to move your feet and move your heart and make you feel good inside. You know, forget about all the b**s*** that's going on for a while, fill up some of the dead spaces." “There ain't no revolution— it’s evolution— but every time I’m in Georgia I eat a peach for peace.” - Duane Allman, born on this day in 1946 (Nov 20, 1946 – Oct 29, 1971) ----- Drummer Butch Trucks tells of Duane’s varied literary interests: “Duane read all kinds of things. He loved Tolkien and Lord of the Rings, of course; he named his daughter Galadrielle [after a Rings character]. He also loved T.S. Eliot, and I remember him reading some Frank Herbert [a sci-fi author] and some philosophy.” #duaneallman #butchtrucks #allmanbrothers #allmanbrothersband (at Lumonics Light & Sound Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5HQaz3lNNn/?igshid=1kzie85jsj39y
