[rabnerrabnerrabner]

Where can I find Paul's version...?

[gordyglasgow]

[rabnerrabnerrabner]

Thanks for the info Gordy. I was able to itunes it and your right - it is an excellent version. Then again, just about anything Paul touches turns to magic, even the Style Counsil had it's gems. ...again many thanks brother....

[rabnerrabnerrabner]

[ras977]

Very underrated, but their music is timeless.

my brother Chris now deceased sadly introuced me to this and all their songs..this he said was the best and he said did what all songs should do ..create a feeling and atmosphere for the words etc//favourite of all time...followed by /In my Room/ by Beach Boys

@glasgowmod68 Your opinion only dude...Weller didn't write it...I'm happy you like the song though...John Sebastian wrote the song...Can't get better than the writer in my opinion....

[upyerrzzz]

This original is definitely the best version.

[ejectorerector]

makes me wanna do drugs and fall asleep

[zinotify]

A great song by a great group with a brilliant song writer in John Sebastian.

Take a ride down Dixie Hwy (US1) from 10thAv N past 6th Av S, into Lantana, and you will see Lake Worth is a shithole

Rabbnerabnerr, I think there was some prescience at work in your including Lake Worth images in this. John's grandparents lived in L.W. and he spent a lot of happy times there throughout his life. As you said, Coconut Grove was a breath of fresh air for folkies like Fred Neil and Vince Martin, who needed to escape, however briefly, from the cutting cold winds of winter in NYC.

joyfulstones..........my favorite group back in the 60 's were the Spoonful.!!!!! Yes, they always had T-shrts on when they played or wore a vest or so. They had their OWN STYLE which nobody could copy. I called it HAPPY MUSIC. You see, just listen to their songs, they are all up-beat tempo and happy tunes, nothing hard rock just easy simple down home style that you could sing ot hum along with. At least I did and bought ALL their ALBUMS, although the albums, they are beat.....

[joyfulstones]

It reminds me of how much influence musicians had on culture beyond just music.. Maybe the Lovin' Spoonful did take it to a new level of casual dress--I could be wrong, but I don't remember any other bands dressing in t-shirts, nobody in jackets, before '65.

[pkappel006]

joyfulstones, yes, the early years saw more polished attire but the Stones pretty much capatived their own style of clothing which was already against tho early norm. They were as you know, the so called "bad boys" of rock n' roll, so were the animals, although they came after the stones started it. I wore a uniform in Grade School & in High School, both were Catholis schools, my parents said this is what you will do, no mouthing back or else I would have been in my room for being punished.....

[joyfulstones]

I don't think the Stones wore uniforms, though they did wear jackets and sometimes ties early on. I think pretty much everyone stopped wearing uniforms around '65 or '66. The styles as well as the music were evolving very, very rapidly then, so what people looked and sounded like in 1964 when the Beatles were first on Ed Sullivan was very different from 1969 when Woodstock took place.
