That generation did change the world. Not for the better.

When discussions in Heaven come up who the greatest rock guitarists of all time were, Alvin Lee’s name has to be (at least) in the conversation.

Saw Ten Years After at the now gone Spectrum in Philly in 1973. Hell of a guitar player. He played slide on the Mic stand like nobody I've ever seen.

Immensely appropriate tune for our times!

Freaks and hairys
Dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?”

I saw them live at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland. Must have been August, 1971.
Here I sit, 45 Years After.

For guitar players, one of the all-time great chord sequences to jam to.
Em G Am C B7 Em
Lather rinse repeat.
Some pre-PC lyrics, quite prescient:
Everywhere there’s
Freaks and Hares
Dykes and fairies
Tell me where is sanity?

I did not realize this little bit of trivia until just recently:
From Wikipedia.
"They again changed their name, to Ten Years After – in honour of Elvis Presley, an idol of Lee's. (This was ten years after Presley's successful year, 1956)."

Ahhh, Alvin Lee - just watched his iconic "I'm Goin' Home" video from Woodstock.
Man, they don't make em' like that any more.
