“Besides, being managed by Hell’s Angels and named after a brand of LSD, Blue Cheer was the absolute antithesis of the Zeitgeist, singer Dickie Peterson later commenting: “We were the ugly stepchildren. Everybody of the San Franciscan scene was all ‘kiss babies’ and ‘eat flowers’. We were sort of ‘kiss flowers’ and ‘eat babies’; we weren’t peace and love.” No shit, Sherlock!”
Julian Cope, The Godlike Genius of Blue Cheer
Donny Hathaway - Jealous Guy
With all due respect, definitive version of the Lennon song.
utterly wonderful Garcia tune - one of my favorite ever - with classic Hunter lyrics:
The truth of love
an unsung song must tell
The course of love must follow blind
without a look behind
Rubin and Cherise-Jerry Garcia Band
Priceless.
Scan the faces of the dudes in the front rows. Different look for each one but all expressing the same thing: astonishment

Yea one of the NSB’s favorite songs ever and one of those songs that utterly blew my mind many years ago, but playing it here because Yancey’s description is so fucking priceless AND spot-on:
“Summer Babe” is spectacular, for sure. It’s totally effortless, feels like it might have been written on the spot, excited sideways glances between the band members, too fearful to wonder if this is it because they don’t want to jinx it, like a pitcher getting too excited in the 8th inning of a no-hitter. It also contains what I am reasonably certain is the first Swisher Sweet reference in song (“mixin’ cocktails with a plastic-tipped cigar”). It also contains a McCartney-worthy bass line. To repeat: it is spectacular.
