I hope he found Jesus.

Never saw Mike Pinera that I recall.

I saw Iron Butterfly in 1969 and missed Mike Pinera by a year but that’s OK. The original Iron Butterfly guitarist captured that In-a-gadda-da-vida vibe well.

May Mike RIP.

[DallasBiff]

Oh great I’m going to have that song in my head all night, that said RIP Mike Pinera.

Mike Pinera used to be with a collection of old rockers called the Classic Rock All Stars. Used to do a lot of European touring. Saw Mike a few years in a row back in the late 90s at the fair in Roseville, CA. Even sold him and Jerry Corbetta some tie dye shirts...Ha! Those were the days. Of course I am still making and selling tie dye...

One of those classic one hit wonders.

[mairdie]

That was fun!

Oh, memories. That was our year in LA racing sports cars around the hills and playing songs like this on the radio at full volume.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I remember that song as a youngster.

Some people speculated that the song was about the crew of the USS Pueblo, seized by North Korea a few years earlier.

I don’t know if that’s true or not.

[Secret Agent Man]

Man I hated that song.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Died at the same age as number of keys on his keyboard when he wrote “Ride, Captain, Ride.”
