A warm dimly lit room, cigarette smoke hangs heavy, but not as heavy as the heads of the ten or so "junkitas" sprawled around like dirty laundry. The Nam vets were back and H was EVERYWHERE. We were the latest batch of suburban teenage addicts in training, fooled and foolish. Much of that crew is gone, hep C. But I'll tell ya, we wore this record out, and I love it as much now as ever. We must remember that the music described the times. It was descriptive, not prescriptive. SB is not to blame

just because the last comment showed ignorance,callousness, and in general a lack of sensitivity - i can only say, is the 5 or the 7 what you really be- or are you just dm? This may not be the greatest guitar solo ever played but it holds up to repeated listening for a lot of folks & that resonates more deeply than some little wanker holding court on it- i love this record- period

I had this song on an 8track player in Holland back in 1973/4, while in the army. I used to listen to this song and others while high on hash. A really wonderful time; I miss it alot. I may go back soon.

@dangerbooboo how about Ronnie Van Zant and original Lynyrd Skynyrd of the 70s, nobody got a message across as good as that man. Pick any song let me know what you think.

@1samuelfour, it was china white back then before black tar started coming across the border

@dangerbooboo, I was never a disciple of Nirvana, but had a certain respect for them. A professional Jazz musician, you have the right to be an elitist snob, jazz was always beyond my understanding, but damn what a following it has with our piers. Once in the 70s I was living in LA going to art school, and on weekends I would always catch the current shows downtown. I went to a Dave Brubeck show, he did an improvisation of "Where is the Love" sweetest 2 hours I ever spent
