Agree on all but Spyro

Spyro is like Gino Vanelli meets Dixie Dregs meets Aldo Novo to me

No offense

The rest is very very spot on

White Rabbit

For What It’s Worth

Who doesn’t know those lyrics

And Poco...
Was always Rocky Mountian music for me

I’d head out from the Deep South in my little truck for friends in Gunnison or Jackson or Bozeman in 1976 or 77

When I could see purple bumps in the disatance usually after Clayton New Mexico

I’d pop in Poco and turn it up loud...and fire one up

Hit Raton and up to Walsenburg and west to Salida and Gunnison

Man I loved my youth

And I still make those trips with my kids

And same music

No weed though. Alas

For What It’s Worth, Buffalo Springfield

When I was in high school the Buffalo Springfield was starting out playing clubs on Sunset Strip.

We used to cruise up to Hollyweird and hang out with a zillion of our closest friends. Wouldn't go to the clubs, just would mill around Hollywood. This annoyed the LAPD so the city council enacted a curfew, and the curfew was met with basically a teenager riot.

This is what this song was inspired by. The long forgotten Sunset Strip Riot. Not Vietnam, not antiwar protests, not anything important. It's about the LAPD stomping on a bunch of rowdy LA and OC punk teenagers.
