And in the vernacular

Download: KIM FOWLEY "Canyon People (interview)"

The Fowley curio is from Highs In The Mid-Sixties Volume 3. It finds Fowley explaining to CBS News in the summer of ‘67 how 'the canyon people' had by then usurped the 'flower children' as America's hope for the future. He was totally right, you know, and it’s about time we take to the canyons, groove on each other, and build Buckydomes and live in peace forever – who’s with me?!!! (Note that on the runout groove to Fowley’s ’67 Reprise single “Don't Be Cruel” /”Strangers from the Sky” it says "Rodney Underground DS Canyon Put On.")

Mike, do you have that single? You know that "Strangers in the Sky" is one of the greatest songs of all time, right? OK...

That Highs in the Mid-Sixties volume was one of the first garage comps I ever heard. Side Two of that album is AWESOME. The Peanut Butter Conspiracy's original version of "Swallow the Sun" is also awesome (the original title was "Dark on You Now").
