Today's teatime tunes: good story this one, Lynn only released one single via Lee Hazelwood but she was a hairdresser to the stars, coiffing Jim Morrison, Neil Young and The Byrds among many others, one of them being Tommy Boyce, who got her song Kicking Stones to The Monkees
Today's teatime tunes: Edinburgh's finest radge hippy trio gadgies ye ken. Influenced by the Incredible String Band but more like a Celtic Airplane on this track. Danny Thompson and Terry Cox also played on the lp. Extra points for rhyming 'Ginsberg' with 'iceberg'
I read this book at least twice a year, it's my guide to navigating life. It's a Catholic fable was written by a Galician Jew in exile in Paris and was the last book he wrote as he drank himself to death. Incidentally Brody, where Roth was born, is now in Ukraine #WorldBookDay
Today's teatime tunes: solo single from the former singer with UK psych greats Tomorrow. There is a pleasing lysergic wooziness to the verses but really it's just a great pop record. Steve Howe on guitar, Ronnie Wood on bass and Aynsley Dunbar on drums. Not a bad line up
