Yeah, this tune is upbeat and his RIC sounds awesome. I don't see him rock out too much these days at his solo shows. It's nice to see him rockin' like old time.
Great song from a wonderful guy. I used to think one line read "sucking weed on chicken bile" and imagined a water pipe filled with chicken bile (truly a wild lyric). I just learned it was "sucked and weaned on chicken bile" still an intense lyric as is the entire song (look it up - McGuinn and Levy were good). This was really a great - unbelievably wild song - and like many good Byrds ones I could not understand why it wasn't number 1 for at least a while. Go figure. The Revenge is it lasts!
