While everybody waits for election results, maybe this song is appropriate for the kamala campaign and legacy media looking for phony votes.

Flame away.

“Clive Davis didn’t find out about it until it had been mixed, prepped and released. When he found out, he fired everybody he could. He fired our producer, I think he fired the guy that opened the door for us. He fired everybody that got involved with recording that song.”

I always loved that song, even if the echo chamber was a bit heavy handed.

“In 2002 in a California Senate hearing on Record Label Accounting Practices, it was revealed that “Time Has Come Today” earned the Chamber Brothers less than $250 in royalties for the European market over 16 years.”

Great story, thank you. I had no idea how backward the “progressives” in the record business were back then.

This song is awesome sauce ... when word gets out that I have passed away, I want my friends, wherever they are, to crack open some cold beers, put this song on, and swap stories about knowing me.

Wherever I am, I'll be smiling with them.

My high-school garage band covered this when it came out, the long version and we even embellished that. It was fantastic fun to play, and was a favorite with our "fan club" (mainly our girlfriends, LOL).

And remember:

"There Is Great Significance To The Passage Of Time."
